Yesterday (June 7), I went to Hitachi Seaside Park
in Ibaraki with
my brother and one of my friends. My
brother said that he wanted to visit there while he is in Japan , so we
decided to go for the day. For flower
enthusiasts, I highly recommend going there! It makes for a lovely day trip. Even if you don’t like flowers, there is also
an amusement park with a Ferris wheel as well as a large open space to play
sports.

We left around 10:30 am and arrived there around 12:30 in
the afternoon. I had driven my car, so
we had to pay 510 yen to park my car at their parking lot. There are three parking lots (West, South, and
Seaside ) and
the price is the same for all three of them. We parked at the Seaside Parking lot, which is
furthest away from the rose garden, but we were able to find a parking space
pretty easily. We could also see the
coast as well which was very nice.

About once a month, they have a free admission day, so we
were very lucky that it happened to be on the day that we went. Admission is 410 yen for adults, 80 yen for
children, and 210 yen for seniors. Unfortunately
I couldn’t find information about the free admission days on their English
website, so please check their Japanese website for more information!
Roses are currently in bloom, so we could see many beautiful
roses. We could also see some poppies too
when we first entered the park.
The park is very big, so if there are lots of things that
you want to see but if you don’t feel like walking around the entire park there are
some convenient modes of transportation. Bicycles can be rented there at 500 yen for
the day, or 400 yen for three hours (it’s an extra 50 yen for every 30 minutes
after the three hours). (For children it’s 300 yen for the day, 250 yen for
three hours + 20 yen for every 30 minutes after) [As written on their Japanese website]. They have many kinds of
bicycles that can be rented, including tandem bicycles. If you decide to rent a tandem bicycle you and
your partner will both have to pay to use the bike. There is also a cute train that goes through
the park as well that one can ride for 500 yen for the whole day.
The flowers change every season, so please check their
website to find out which flowers are blooming!
