Musashi Hill Forest Park

Taste the big four seasons from flower fields to autumn leaves at the national Musashi Hills Forest Park

Musashi Hills Forest Park offers seasonal flowers and autumn foliage, making it an attractive spot for photography. In spring, poppies and tulips bloom all over the park, creating a colorful and gorgeous scene. In early summer, the blue flowers of nemophila spread out, creating a fantastic view. The beautiful flowers of lupines are also not to be missed. And in the fall, the vast forest is a spectacular sight as the leaves turn red and yellow. Try to capture the different expressions of each season and leave a wonderful photo.

Key points for photography

The key to photography is that Musashi Hills Forest Park is very vast, so when visiting for the purpose of photography, it is recommended that you check the entrances near the area you wish to photograph before you head there. If you visit more than one location in the park, you will have to walk more than you imagine, so it is a good idea to choose shoes that will not tire you out after a long walk. The impression of a photo shoot varies greatly depending on the time of day: in the morning, the flowers and greenery are softly lit, and in the daytime, the colors are clearly expressed by the increased light. If you want to take advantage of the expansive scenery, use a wide-angle lens to create a sense of scale, and if you want to highlight the flowers and subjects, use a telephoto lens to organize the background to create a photo that is typical of forest parks. In addition to flowers, combining the sky, park path, and grove of trees will create a photo that conveys the atmosphere unique to the season. It is also important not to overload your shooting plan with too many shots, but to give yourself enough time to take time to photograph each location, assuming it will take you some time to get there.
