Hitachi Seaside Park

May 2, 2012 Weather wasn't clear, It was humid, A gloomy day. I went to the near by city to visit this big and beautiful park called "Hitachi Sea-side Park" (ひたち海浜公園). The park is one of the attraction of mid Ibaraki area, A floral heaven as they say. It draws number of visitors round the year as there is something to offer all the season. There are many good places and things to see inside the park. One such place that fascinated me was Miharashino-oka(みはらしの丘). The park as a whole is so well-managed and clean. Undoubtedly one of the best parks I have ever visited. With no further humdrum words, I shall let the pictures speak!

 The sea-side train with two rabbits on the front(isn't it unique and interesting?). Since the park covered a large area it looked unwise to visit spots by walking. rather paid some extra charge and enjoyed the unlimited train ride. 

 This is the place that i mentioned earlier Miharashino-oka. The seasonal flower nemophilia was planted all over the hillock which literally looked like a blue carpet. The very first sight of this place was breathtaking. This picture shows only one side of the area. I went up to the green hill and feasted my eyes on the views of the port, the whole park and the pacific!

Tulip garden inside the park! Another attractive place to witness the art&beauty of floriculture!

Right after seeing the tulip garden, It started to pour down. I took shelter inside a glass house for sometime. But it was already time to catch a bus back to the station. If time favors I would certainly love to visit the park again and again with much vigor!
