4.5 Million Baby Blue Flowers Bloom across Japanese Park like A Never-Ending Sea of Blue Lights

Flowers are an important part of Japanese culture. For every season, there are unique species and varieties that bloom and light up the country, adding a little color to everyone’s life. It’s common to find stunning flower fields in Japan, some of which are government-owned tourist locations and private farmer-owned fields. A lot of them have several species of flowers in different rows, often making a smorgasbord of colors and beauty beyond words.

The 190-hectare park in Hitachi features many varieties of seasonal flowers, but one of the best times to visit is late April to mid-May during the Nemophila Harmony. Nicknamed the "baby blue eyes" because of their soft blue hue and eye-like appearance, 4.5 million Nemophilia flowers cover the 3.5-hectare Miharashi hills in the park. The flowers dot every spot of the hills, excluding the walkways, and you can get a great panoramic view at the base level since the hills are about 58m above sea level.
