At Hitachi Seaside Park, located in Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture, "Kokia", which is characterized by its thick, round shape, turns red and is in full bloom.
Kokia is an annual plant characterized by its thick, round shape. At Hitachi Seaside Park, 32,000 trees are planted on a hill of about 2 hectares, and it is in full bloom from the 14th, two days earlier than last year. ..
In the morning of the 15th, you can see the vivid contrast between the blue sky and Kokia that dyes the entire hill red, and many people visited with the opening of the park, strolling around Kokia and taking pictures of it. I was having fun.
A man in his thirties who visited with his family said, "I'm glad I came because it's very beautiful. It feels good because the weather is nice today."
According to the park, this is a little smaller than usual in August, when it is growing, due to heavy rain and short daylight hours.
The best time to see it is expected to continue until around the 20th of this month.
