#springwander Musashi Kyuryo National Government Park is a national government park located on the Hiki Hills of the town of Namegawa, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. It is also known as a National forest park. There are three flower gardens in the park, where you can enjoy Nemophila, Icelandic Poppy, and Rhupinus in spring, sunflowers and Corius in summer, and feathered gaitou in autumn. In addition, in the wild grass course, wild plants such as katakuri and shiritesou bloom, and in the botanical garden area, various horticultural plants bloom in every season in herb gardens and border flower beds.

The advantage of Saitama Musashi Hillside Forest Park is that it has a pleasant climate all year round. There are various varieties of flowers blooming all year round. No matter when you visit, you can enjoy the sea of ​​flowers all over the mountains. You don't have to worry about the time of visit, which is very considerate for planning your itinerary. The park consists of a rose garden, a Japanese garden, an English garden and many large flower beds, forming a natural space of more than 18 hectares. The colorful sea of ​​flowers, daffodils, plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, tulips, roses, hydrangeas, lavender, cosmos, and winter cherry blossoms alternate in seasons, and the distant view of Akagi Mountain is really beautiful.

The cherry blossoms are over, and it's time for the flowers blooming on the ground to be in full bloom! The best time to see them in early summer is Shibazakura🌸 The flowers bloom on the ground in different colors, such as light pink, dark pink, and pale purple, which are different from Somei Yoshino✨ You can see the spectacular view of Shibazakura in Chichibu, Saitama😍 Today, we will introduce "Hitachiyama Park" In the second half, we will also introduce tourist spots that are recommended for families with children!

There are also local menus, so you can fill up your stomach 😋 ③There are vending machines, but be careful when they sell out There are not many vending machines compared to the number of visitors, so it may be sold out! It's probably a good idea to bring your own food in advance 🥤 ④There is quite a line for the parking lot, so I recommend taking the train! As it is a very popular spot, there is quite a line! There are not a lot of parking lots 🅿️ There is an express train that can be taken directly from Ikebukuro Station, so it is recommended to use that 🚆 [Tourist spots to visit together] ---- Right next to the nearest station, Seibu Chichibu Station, is a station called "Onohata Station" 🚉 From there, you can get to another popular tourist spot in Saitama, "Nagatoro"! The rock formations and the river boat rafting are popular ✨ The natural shaved ice that doesn't make your head feel cold is also popular 🍧 It takes about 20 minutes from Onohata Station, so be sure to check it out! ---------------------------- That's it!
