In this photo, I took a view of the kochia and the Ferris wheel from the top of the hill. Have you ever seen the kochia with red leaves, one of the autumn attractions of the National Hitachi Seaside Park? In this article, we will introduce you to the kochia in its autumn leaf version, a specialty of Hitachi-Keihin Park. The bright red kochia spreading across the hills beautifully decorate the park like an autumn carpet. In autumn, countless kochias are planted on Miharashi Hill in Hitachi Seaside Park, and their leaves gradually change color from green to bright red. The kochia foliage season is from late September to mid-October each year, and the best time to view the leaves is when many tourists and photo enthusiasts visit the park. Especially on sunny days, the contrast of the bright red kochia against the blue sky makes a perfect photo spot. The view of the kochia leaves from Miharashi Hill is breathtaking, as if a red carpet covers the entire hill. The small, round kochia trees are planted densely, and each one turns red, creating a spectacular view as a whole. The view from the top of the hill and the view of the kochia from the foot of the hill offer different perspectives, so be sure to view the kochia from various angles when visiting. When the kochia leaves are at their peak, other areas of the park are also enveloped in the colors of autumn. The park is also filled with cosmos and other autumn flowers, providing visitors with beautiful autumn scenery. A stroll through the park, enjoying the clear autumn air and the spectacular view of the autumn leaves from Miharashi Hill, is sure to be a relaxing experience. Hitachi-Kaihin Koen is easily accessible from the Kanto area, making it ideal for day-trip sightseeing. We encourage you to visit Hitachi Seaside Park in autumn to see the beautiful scenery created by the red kochia leaves. The red kochias swaying in the autumn breeze will welcome you.
