Located on a hill overlooking a town famous for its pottery, this park is home to 8,500 azalea bushes. In spring, the entire hill is dyed in vibrant shades of red, pink, and purple. A path through the flowers leads to the summit, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the town. It is a beautiful blend of floral scenery and the local "Kasama-yaki" ceramic culture.

Isobe Sakuragawa Park
Ibaraki

Isobe Sakuragawa Park

This historic park is celebrated for its ancient groves of wild cherry trees, distinct from the common cultivated varieties. These mountain cherries have been a subject of Japanese poetry for centuries. When they bloom in delicate white and pale pink, they offer a subtle, deep beauty that captures the true essence of a traditional Japanese spring in a quiet, natural setting.

Amabiki Kannon

Known as the "Temple of Flowers," this mountain temple is beloved for its seasonal beauty. It becomes an ethereal wonderland during the rainy season when hydrangeas are floated upon the temple pond. With peacocks wandering the grounds and vibrant colors shifting from spring cherries to autumn maples, it is a picturesque sanctuary that celebrates the elegance of the Japanese seasons.
