Hitsujiyama Park, Chichibu, is known for its attractive moss-pink field. Open hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the festival from mid-April to early May. The ticket price was just 300 yen per adult, and it’s really worth it. The ticket counter staff and other staff were really kind and friendly. The park is well maintained, and they have some beautiful flower decorations too. They had 10 types of flowers there, and those flowers are lovely and take away all stress. This hillside park is pretty crowded during festival season, but you can still enjoy it. You can enjoy a variety of foods from stoles in addition to the moss pink yard.There are plenty of food styles, which include Japanese traditional cuisine. The food was really yummy, and the vendors were really nice. When you go a few steps further, you can see a few sheep on their small farm. Sometimes we can’t actually watch sheep at the zoo, so I feel so happy. However, take my advice: if you go during peak season, please be ready to walk, or else you can get on a taxi too. I walked from Chchibu station to Hitsujiyama Park, and it took me 20 minutes, but it was a nice experience. This gorgeous park gives you fresh air to breathe. It was worth visiting this garden again, and I hope to go there...

During the blossoming period, it's the Shibazakura Festival, where plenty of food stalls dotted around the park, selling local delicacies at reasonable prices. We ended up spending most of our time trying out all the different food and drink, so it was still a fun day out despite the...
Read moreExtremely beautiful place. It will be more beautiful when we go there around 8 a.m. upto 9 a.m. in the peak days (holidays or golden week). But we still can get the beautiful picture if we bring a good camera. :)) Hehe There's a tulip also. There are dark pink, light pink, blue, white, and purple flowers.
