Autumn leaves of 32,000 Kochia in Hitachi Seaside Park

Autumn leaves of 32,000 Kochia (summer cypress) in Hitachi Seaside Park.
Blue carpet of nemophila flowers in the spring changes to this amazing bright red carpet in October every year.
The beauty of this scenery was beyond my imagination even though it has partially passed its peak.

Nemophila flowers will be planted for the next spring after the the Kochia dies down.

They have many more beautiful sceneries.
This pink and red landscape was also very gorgeous than I imagined.
A crowd of people on the kochia hill was also amazing 😁

Kochia and the restored traditional Japanese houses.
These buildings were originally built in 18th century and relocated to this place in 2010.
It is one of the most oldest houses in eastern Japan.

In the spring ( between April and May )these bright red carpet are replaced with the blue one.

Above is the flower garden of cosmos flowers and Kochia in October, below is the nemophila garden in April.
