Hitachi Seaside Park is a national government park in Hitachinaka city. It has various kinds of flowers, so we can enjoy

them throughout all the seasons. Spring: narcissus, tulip, nemophila Summer: kochia, sunflower Fall: kochia, cosmos

Also, the park is very large, so we can enjoy cycling and riding vehicles in the park.

ROCK IN JAPAN, the biggest outdoor rock festival in Japan, is held there every summer. About 200 musicians who work

actively in Japan take part in this festival. In 2017, about 274,000 people

attended the festival over four days.

The local private railroad runs 14.3 kilometers and serves 10 stations from Ajigaura station to Katsuta station. In graceful Nakaminato, the station building

of Ajigaura station, and the yard of Nakaminato station, old-model diesel train and old Japanese-National-Railways type trains leisurely run.

There are many highlights to experience while riding it because the trains run in the extensive field. It has some famous tourist spots, such as Hitachi

Seaside Park and Nakaminato fish market along the railroad line. When the Nemophila are in bloom at Hitachi

Seaside Park, a bus called “the Nemophila bus” runs to connect Hitachinaka Kaihintetudo minato line and Hitachi Seaside Park. The kanji for the signs of each station have

pictures which show us the local specialty at each step.
