Partners Information: Uminonakamichi Seaside Park, Fukuoka City is known for its colourful seasonal displays such as the sea of nemophilia that blanket Flower Hill each spring.
The best time to see the nemophila, also known as baby blue eyes, is usually from around from mid-April to early May. It’s truly a sight to behold, with over one million flowers spanning an area of some 12,000 square metres.
In addition to the floral displays the family-orientated park consists of a number of different areas including several playgrounds, a zoo and even a water park in summer. You can wander the park on foot or hire a bicycle or electric scooter to explore the 12km-long network of cycling trails.
Those who wish to explore for longer can now stay at the park overnight, with glamping-style accommodation facility Inn the Park recently introduced as part of the new Light and Wind Square area. The new area also includes Kyushu’s first athletic tower, a barbeque area and a bath facility that overlooks Hakata Bay.
