Nemophila in Ibaraki, Japan
The famous Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki Prefecture is blanketed with nemophila flowers (also called baby blue eyes) from late April to mid-May. There are 4 to 5 million pretty light blue blooms planted around the hills and fields – reminiscent of a blue ocean. Located about two hours from Tokyo in the city of Hitachinaka, the park faces the Pacific Ocean.
In spring time, the area is also home to bright yellow narcissuses and multi-coloured tulips. In autumn, the area is cloaked in bright red thanks to round kochia plants (think: fluffy round flowers in Dr Seuss’ The Lorax). If you are there in early summer, you’ll see poppies and roses.
