Cosmos at its best

Let's go to the National Hitachi Seaside Park, which is full of attractions throughout the year!

National Hitachi Seaside Park is a place where you can enjoy seasonal flowers and nature throughout the year. You can enjoy nemophila and tulips in spring, fresh green kochia in summer, cosmos and bright red kochia in autumn, and ice tulips in winter. Kochia leaves at Miharashi no Oka start turning red in early October, and by mid-October, they are famous for turning bright red.

Cosmos is a member of the Asteraceae family. They are known as one of the most popular autumn flowers in Japan. Thanks to improvements in breeding, a wide variety of colors and shapes can be seen at the National Hitachi Seaside Park. Various varieties of cosmos along with 33,000 kochia trees will create a memorable autumn page.
