About Hanamiyama Park

Hanamiyama Park is a nature-rich park located in Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture, and is nationally known as a popular place for flower viewing, especially in spring. The park is a privately owned mountain that has been opened to the local community, and is planted with a variety of flowering trees, including cherry, plum, lentil, and peach, creating a beautiful landscape that is often referred to as a “flower paradise. Visitors can fully enjoy the beauty of nature while being surrounded by flowers of each season.

The greatest attraction of Hanamiyama Park is the overwhelming amount of flowers in bloom in spring and their beauty. Especially in April, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, someiyoshino cherry trees, yamazakura cherry trees, and weeping cherry trees all bloom at once, and the entire mountain is covered in pink and white flowers. This scene is truly worthy of being called “Peach Blossom Land,” and many tourists visit during this time.
