Things to do in Ashikaga Flower Park

Nice getaway from the city to a more novel location. Small group with more personalized service and went to a more beautiful plum tree garden in Karikuan with some small shops. The plum trees were just starting to bloom and were beautiful and smelled so sweet. Then drove to a little shop with unique onigeri. The visit to Ushiko with the largest bronze statue in the world was impressive. All in all, good value for money and pleasant guides! A very nice experience!

the tour is very enjoyable eventho the weather a bit gloomy. me and my mom had a great time from persimmons picking, Kairakuen Village, and the main highlight is Hitachi Seaside. Misa the tour leader is very friendly and helpful.

Our Tour Guide, Mr. Oishi was very kind and knowledgeable. Very pleased to see the fields of Kochia in full bloom and the weather was just nice (didn’t rain) at the time of visit.

Visited Total of 4 spots. First to Persimmon farm. No picking experience but all you can eat during the visit. Is quite early, can't really stomach too much. Next to Kairakeun Garden, the walk to the park from the carpark was a bit far thou, having less than 30mins there. just touch n go. Hitachi seaside park is beautiful. Having bento lunch next to the flowers are quite an experience. Last stop to mentai park for a quick bite of mentaiko icecream. All in all pleasant tour. Tour guide Yuri is a patience n nice lady. Even gives us souvenirs along the trip.

This tour was of the highlights of our Japan trip! I still can’t believe that I finally got to see the fields of kochias in real life and we were surprisingly blessed with a fine weather. Our group was even featured in the local news! How amazing is that? 😄Our tour guide, Misa, was very professional, knowledgeable and well prepared of the places that we visited. And our driver was efficient that we were able to travel safe and be back to Tokyo earlier than planned despite the expected traffic. Such a highly recommended tour. How I wish we could visit again in spring time. ☺️

The tour guide spoke good English, was very friendly, and even adjusted our itinerary according to the weather! It’s very easy and convenient to have a rest right after getting in the car. Recommended!

The driver informed us very clearly about the pick-up and drop-off locations, and because it happened to be during the festival traffic control, the vehicle could not approach. He also tried his best to confirm our location in time to pick us up. The driving skills were good, but we were all so tired that we fell asleep directly.

Ayumi is so good to me, she waited for me even though I was horribly late. After that, I was always waaaay too early to come back 😅. I guess the only downside I could say is that there wasn't any flowers blooming in Mito Kairakuen park, so it could have been skipped.
