【Japan Autumn leaves】Autumn leaves at Hitachinaka Park are spread under knees!! We can enjoy unique landscape looking them down!

When you hear autumn leaves, maybe you come up with like these image.

Me too.Commonly, we imagine like them!!

Red or yellow leaves are on the trees and we look them up.

But This time I introduce unique autumn leaves.

There are no trees and spread out red scenery under knees.

So we  look down these autumn leaves scenery.

 

Hitachi naka kaihin park（ひたちなか海浜公園）

This autumn leaves can be looked at 「Hitachi-Naka-Kaihin-Park」.

Recently, this park got so famous especially spring scenery.

Best time of autumn leaves is said between first and middle of October!

I went there at 12th Ocotober (2014)!

It seemed to be best time, so there were lots of people.

Tickets shop was so congested....but I could buy ticket earlier than I thought.

This park was really large.

(I entered West gate and from there it took aoubt 30 min to destination.)

So this park has 2 convinient transportaiton system.「Bus」「Rental bicycle」

So if you see around efficiently, I reccomend them.

Especially bicycle, there were load only for bike.

So when runnig, we didn't care any pedistrain!

Up to goal

I selected to walk.

There were lots of good nature.So walking was nice!!

Walking about 30 min, colorful scenery showed up!!

 In front of autumn leaves, there were white flowers which were arranged neatly.

Do you guess what kind of flower it is?

This is the Soba's flower!!(Soba is japanese noodle.)

Actually,It is difficault to imagine that this white flower turn into the soba.

Next to Soba's farm, there were pink flower carpet!!

This flower was cosmos!

Unique autumn-leaves

Got today's target.

This are is called 「Miharashi-hill(見晴らしの丘).」（Miharashi means good meaning）

So we colud enjoy from foot of hill,

And climing this hill,

And top of hill.

To go to top there were some path.

It is banned going out of this path like this girl!!

Near the top there were bell, everyone sounded this bell.

Other side view from top was boring..

This is Kokia

I told awsome splendness about unique autumn leaves.

But maybe there are still one question.

What kind of plants did make this landscape?

This unique plants is  Kokia（コキア）.

Before autumn, Kokia is green appearance.

And from end of September, these leaves turn red.

Unique characteristic of Kokia is we could eat this seeds.

So it is called cavior at field.

And past time broom was made of kokia. 

Finally

I was really impressive this unique autumn leaves.

This park is located in Ibaraki prefecture.

Unfortunately, Ibaraki prefecture was selected by worst atractive prefecture(2016).

But I would like to claim there are lots of attractive place not only this unique landscape!!

So I will write Ibaraki article for its ads.
