HITACHI SEASIDE PARK has become very famous because of the spread in SNS, it was a great park that could answer my expectations. We can see the amazing blue Nemophila fields even we look from the bottom or above. It'll be better to visit before the Golden Week Holidays (long successive holidays from late April to early May). Also, the best season of Nemophila is around those days.
