This floral theme park transforms the landscape into a sea of vivid colors each season. In spring, approximately 250,000 moss phlox plants cover the vast slopes like a pink and white carpet, while early summer marks the peak of the hydrangea garden, which boasts the world's largest variety of species. The dynamic sight of the entire mountain filled with floral hues is a top location for photography enthusiasts. It is a healing spot where you can enjoy Japan's rich aesthetic of color through all five senses amidst a refreshing highland breeze.

Beni-shidare Jizo Cherry Blossom

A magnificent red weeping cherry tree, over 400 years old, blooms as if to embrace the Jizo statue that serves as the local guardian deity. The vibrant deep pink petals falling like a cascading waterfall create an overwhelmingly beautiful and mystical landscape that symbolizes spring in Japan. This site, which has been carefully protected by local people since ancient times, embodies traditional Japanese prayer and affection for nature. It is a special sanctuary where you can feel the vital energy of the cherry blossoms in silence and spend a peaceful moment of reflection.

Otsujigataki Falls

This brave waterfall pours across the full width of the Abukuma River in the shape of the kanji character "Otsu" (乙). Due to its powerful appearance, it is often called the "Miniature Niagara." The famous haiku master Matsuo Basho once visited here and praised its scenery in his poetry. With cherry blossoms in spring and irises in early summer, the combination of roaring spray and seasonal flowers offers a refreshing view that blends classical Japanese aesthetics with natural energy.
