The area was a military airport before being converted into a firing and bombing range for the US Air Force after World War II, according to the park's website.

After a number of innocent people were killed in accidental bombings, the locals fought for the land to be returned to the Japanese government.

The Pleasure Garden at Hitachi Seaside Park features more than 25 rides, including a Ferris wheel that features stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.

There's also a forest adventure playground for kids, a barbecue area, and plenty of walking trails and cycling paths.

Over at the Narcissus Garden you'll find one million daffodils blooming in the spring. There's 260,000 tulips at the Tamago Flower Garden, which was inspired by Holland and features a miniature windmill. And the Hitachi Rose Garden has plants that are kept short so that small children and wheelchair users can enjoy them.

The park even has a handy guide on its website homepage so that visitors can keep track of what flowers are currently in season.

When autumn arrives, the entire area is covered in kochia plants that turn from a lush green to a gorgeous scarlet.

With their fluffy texture and vibrant color, the field looks like something straight out of Dr. Seuss's beloved book "The Lorax."

The small flowers only grow between two to three centimeters in size, according to the Hitachi Seaside Park's website.

While nemophila rarely steal the show in American gardens, they are no doubt the stars at Hitachi Seaside Park.

The sea of baby-blue flowers blooming in the empty fields has created an incredible sight.

But the park has been closed since April 4 due to the ongoing pandemic.

They fill 3.5 hectares of the vast park, stretching across the equivalent of more than six football fields.
