Here’s to another Unique Japan destination.
This place is unbelievable. It looks magical. Like something out of a children’s book.
Of what is a theme park at the front is this hill carpeted with kochia bushes in the back.
It looks so whoasome!
However, we came here a bit early…
… as the colors change from green to red.
Now imagine all those greens turn into reds. I got to go back and see that.
But even with all the green ones, it’s still a wonderful sight!
With other more flowers and gardens to look at.
It’s great place to relax too.
This or next year, I’m definitely going to make it my mission to go back for autumn colors and spring nemophilas.
Last Call…
I added a new tag and menu tab “Unique Places and Events”. 😉
The Sophomore Slump 
Thank you for the virtual tour Rommel and your beautiful photographs. It looks like a very peaceful place, I can almost hear the haiku :o)
I bet there are hundreds and thousands of haiku were written here by Japanese. 😉
“Unique” is the right word to describe this wondrous scene. Is the kochia planted or natural there?
Planted, I believe. I saw some newly planted ones while I was there, all lined up.
You have opened my eyes to something very unusual and very beautiful, a place I have never heard of previously. Thank you for allowing us to visit and see it through your eyes and the lens of your camera.
Hi saroberts041, I highly suggest you should add your blog to your gravatar. That way, when people click on your name, they then link to your blog. 😉
Thankyou Rommel
Wow, Rommel, that place does look like it’s out of some fairy tale. So beautiful!
And when I was there, it felt like the hills were alive with the sound of music. Ha! 🙂
😆
Oh wow, I’ve been following your posts but I didn’t realize you were so close by! This is like a twenty minute drive away from where I was living. I visited Hitachi Seaside Park in the spring when it was covered in blue nemophila flowers. I’m surprised at how much the landscape changes based on the season. (Here’s a link to the post that I wrote about it, if you’re interested! https://ellesite.wordpress.com/2016/05/27/an-ocean-of-blue-flowers-at-kaihin-park/)
I badly want to see that. It is amazing how it transforms to a completely different place from one season to the next. I’m a bit far from it. 4 hours of bus drive from Kanagawa Prefecture to there.
Oh I love Kanagawa! Hakone and Kamakura were two of my favorite spots in Japan that I visited. I know what you mean, though. I don’t know how they manage to transform the park entirely each season, but it’s stunning.
Definitely gorgeous and unique. I would love to see them when they’ve all turned red! It really is quite magical.
Every place here has some kind of chart about different flower season. It seems like timing is quite essential to get the best of the travel. Gets frustrating at times, but quite exciting.
These bushes are so cool!! What an awesome place! The purple is very pretty. You have to go back and take more photos after they rest turn! Love the effect in your final photo:)
I have a feeling I’ll be using that last pic again and again. 🙂
Just wow. I would love to explore this next year! Lovely photos btw 🙂
I hope you get your timing right, unlike like me. 🙂
Wow definitely a unique place to experience, I love it! In a couple of weeks the colour will be really rich, I hope you go back 🙂
I’m afraid not, Gilly. I scheduled something this weekend, and then I have work on the weekend the week after that. I’ll be back there in spring instead, and maybe next year for the red colors.
Wow wow and wow! I mean how many times more are you gonna make me say it Rommel ??!! Your every post one after the other has been mind blowing. I mean look at That place and pictures….wow !😁😁
4 wows sound about right. 😀
I never knew of this quite special place to rest and refresh oneself. Thanks for sharing, Rommel!
It was. I stopped and sat on a bench to relax at the top of the hill. 😉
Wow, this place looks a bit surreal ~ and I remember I’ve seen photos of it when it has all turned red, but I like this yellowish-green look and feel. I look forward to seeing your ‘red’ photos too. The third shot is my favorite, the couple walking through ~ it looks so peaceful. You’ve seen some amazing sights through your travel ~ keep them coming for us to enjoy. Cheers!
So many couples there. Most of my captures of people are couples. I only uploaded a few. Thanks, Randall.
Amazing spot. Never knew about it.
It’s popular with the Japanese. I don’t understand why it is not as advertised as much with everybody else.
Japan has some amazing places which I have only seen in photos. This spot is a gem.
OMG Rommel, your photos are stunning! I’m sure when those bushes turn red it would be a remarkable place to see.
You can google it and see. It’s like out of this world.
Once I have some decent internet I will do so.
this reminds me of chocolate hills in the Philippines, especially second one. I’m not sure why. anyway, nice trip!
You don’t have to ponder why. I was thinking the same thing. 😉
What a lovely place to be, Rommel. And thank you for taking us there. That’s why I love reading blogs… they take me to places that I probably won’t have a chance to go. I am happy like a kid. 😉
Yup, blogging has been my TV, my movie, my magazine and my informational and inspirational book. 😀
Wow! This place is incredible. Yes, you have to go back and show us the photographs with red colors. Are you living in Japan?
Cosmo is my favourite flower!
I was there last week… good thing I saw this post before my flight to Japan 🙂
Those treelets are wonderful. Take me there! 🙂
Fantastic place and original photos! Thanks for taking me there. Bye. Kamila
Cosmo is my favourite flower!
