The Hitachi Seaside Park is a wide public park in Ibaraki stretching over an area of around 350 hectares. This park is famous countrywide for its various seasonal flowers blooming throughout the year - narcissus and tulips in spring, nemophila and roses in early summer, zinnias in summer, and kochia and cosmos flowers in the fall.

In flower language, the Nemophila bears the meaning of “success everywhere”. When you see a field of Nemophila it's like millions of flowers are ringing in the wind, wishing you success and happiness. It’s a true blessing to be able to see this special flower.

To get to the flower garden, you will walk along some narrow paths which will lead you under the green canopy. Hitachi Seaside Park is remarkable not only for its famous flowers, but also for its amazingly large green space - a perfect place for those who love nature.

However, when speaking of Hitachi Seaside Park, people will immediately think of its famous Nemophila flowers. It will soon be the season for this flower to bloom! Let's see some of the reasons why you should definitely check out this garden around the beginning of May.

Nemophila is commonly known as Baby Blue Eyes. It is said that newborn babies of European heritage usually have blue eyes, no matter what color they will later become.

As the name suggests, Nemophila is a transparent round-shaped flower with a sky-blue color, just as bright and pure like the color of a baby’s eyes. This color is found comparatively rare in the vegetal world, and this may be the reason why it receives so much attention.

The best time to see Nemophila is from late-April to mid-May. During this time, you can see millions of small blue bell-shaped flowers spreading over the Miharashi Hill in Hitachi Seaside Park.

One of the special features of this park is that here, at this time of the year, you can enjoy the fusion of the blue of the ocean with the color of the sky and the blue of the hill covered in Nemophila. This happens only once a year so be sure not to miss this chance!

Nemophila flowers may look small and fragile but they are attributed with a wonderful, rare power: the power to heal. According to "Flower Essence Repertory", a book by Patricia Kaminski, the essence of Nemophila helps improve the emotional state of people who experienced a lack of love throughout their childhood. The beautiful color of this flower also helps relieve stress.
