[2025 Shobara Attraction] Travel Guide for Bihoku Hillside Park (Updated Mar)

This is a complex where you can experience a variety of things, including flower fields, large playground equipment such as slides, grass sledding, bicycle rentals, and camping. There are plenty of places for children to play, but except in winter, many couples and married couples stroll around alone, as various flowers such as tulips, sunflowers, and cosmos are in full bloom. Also, since it is a national park, the admission fee is cheap. I think it's a bargain at 450 yen for adults and free for junior high school students and younger. It is so large that it is impossible to see everything, so don't go there in sandals or high heels. In winter, the annual Christmas illuminations are held, which is also recommended.

#magicalxmastrip Winter illuminations have been held every year since the opening of the state-run Bihoku Hill Park in Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, in 1995. It is characterised by hilly terrain and decorations that make use of trees, and a scene with a sense of depth as if wrapped in light spreads out, and you can enjoy a fantastic world. The area where the illuminations sparkles is developed mainly in the middle square, Hiba no Sato, and the flower square, and the variety of illuminations according to the characteristics of each venue area is also one of the attractions.

#cherryblossom2024 Deep gorges and wide open spaces The Bihoku area in Hiroshima Prefecture is a great place for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking trails here take you through two magnificent gorges, Sandan-ke and Taisaku-ke, with dense forests and hot springs such as Takamiya Yunomori. It is interesting There are about 70 types of flowers in Bihoku Hills Park Sandan-ke and Taisaku-ke are considered two of the most picturesque gorges in Japan How to get there The best way to get to Bihoku is by car from Hiroshima — it will take two hours. The nearest transport interchange is Shobara IC on the Chugoku Expressway. Some of the attractions in the area — for example, Sandan-ke — can be reached by public transport. Flowers and sports in the national Park Bihoku Hills National Park will appeal to both fans of watching blooms and fans of outdoor sports. The park itself is divided into several sections, one of which is called the "Flower Square". Indeed, from spring to autumn, about 70 types of flowers bloom there. In Minori no Sato, more active tourists will enjoy a bicycle trail with a length of almost 7 km, as well as a disc golf course. Tsudoi no Sato is for playing golf and admiring sakura in the spring. And the open space of eight hectares, which is called the "Big Lawn", is great for relaxing in warm weather. Go through the gorge The Sandan-ke runs through the mountains northwest of Hiroshima. Impressive waterfalls and crevices can be found here. This place is just created for those who like to climb rocks through greenery. You can get to the Sandan-ke Gorge by public transport from Hiroshima. In Taisaku-kyo, it is worth getting to the stone arch of natural origin, known as the "Onbashi Bridge". The gorge itself is named after the god Taisaku-ten, and there is a temple dedicated to this deity — Aime-ji. There is a comfortable path from the temple gate along the northern part of the gorge.

Commonly known as Bihoku Illuminations, this is an annual event. Viewing the illuminations is free, just pay the regular admission fee. We recommend going in the afternoon, strolling around the park, and then viewing the illuminations at night. Usually, when viewing illuminations, the parking lot and the site are very crowded, but this park is located in a large rural area, so there is no need to worry about traffic jams or crowds. This means that even families can visit at their own pace without worry. The familiar illuminations are updated every year with new additions, making it a little more powerful.

I went to Bihoku Hillside Park in Hiroshima Prefecture!!! This is a national park that is well maintained and very beautiful😊 I was able to refresh myself surrounded by nature✨ ​​#besttrip2023
