National Echigo Hillside Park, decorated with seasonal flowers

Echigo Hillside Park is located in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, and is the only national park in the Hokuriku and Niigata regions. The park's vast grounds, about 85 times the size of Tokyo Dome, are decorated with seasonal flowers, allowing visitors to enjoy the beauty of nature throughout the year. Tulips bloom in spring, roses in early summer, and cosmos in autumn, offering a different view no matter what season you visit. In winter, sledding and snowshoeing slopes and snowshoe courses are open.

Lovely tulips

Tulips in Echigo Hillside Park are at their best from late April to early May.

At the National Echigo Hillside Park, 160,000 tulips in 83 varieties will be in full bloom all over the "Hana no Oka Area". The tulips are usually at their best from late April to early May, but by planting a mix of early- and late-blooming varieties, the colors are enriched and can be enjoyed for a long period of time. The tulips and music can be seen from the top of the hill.

Recommended ways to enjoy the "Tulip Festival

The co-starring of the tulips and the musical fountain seen from the hilltop is a highlight not to be missed. The fountain rises once every 30 minutes, so it is best to time your visit accordingly. In addition, photo spots featuring images of doors and windmills will appear in the tulip fields. Please try to take many wonderful pictures from any angle you wish.
