What other travelers are saying about Hitsujiyama Park
Every year during spring, golden week and autumn, I come to enjoy Chichibu’s natural beauty. I visited this park on May 4th 2024. Although the moss phlox season has passed, it is still nice to sit outdoor with fresh air and natural scenery. There’s a farm market, they call it ‘marche’ and there is a sheep farm. Still in the same area, a bit further there is an athletic park for children. It’s recommended for a family with children.
Visited April 13,2024. The staff said the shibazakura or moss phlox were just 80% blooming but it was already awesome to see 🌸
Don’t forget to pass by the refreshment stalls at the rear 👍
Hitsujiyama Park, Chichibu, is known for its attractive moss-pink field. Open hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the festival from mid-April to early May. The ticket price was just 300 yen per adult, and it’s really worth it. The ticket counter staff and other staff were really kind and friendly. The park is well maintained, and they have some beautiful flower decorations too. They had 10 types of flowers there, and those flowers are lovely and take away all stress. This hillside park is pretty crowded during festival season, but you can still enjoy it. You can enjoy a variety of foods from stoles in addition to the moss pink yard.There are plenty of food styles, which include Japanese traditional cuisine. The food was really yummy, and the vendors were really nice. When you go a few steps further, you can see a few sheep on their small farm. Sometimes we can’t actually watch sheep at the zoo, so I feel so happy. However, take my advice: if you go during peak season, please be ready to walk, or else you can get on a taxi too. I walked from Chchibu station to Hitsujiyama Park, and it took me 20 minutes, but it was a nice experience. This gorgeous park gives you fresh air to breathe. It was worth visiting this garden again, and I hope to go there next year too.
On April 20, 2021 the flowers are about 85% blooming. This park is not that big as my expectation, but nice to come here during shibazakura season. I've enjoyed it so much! Entrance fee is ¥300.
Not yet full blossom. Can't find the perfect angle for a good photo. The traffic jam is terrible. We have to walk from the second parking lot to the park for 30+ mins. I suggest go early and park tell car on the first parking lot located on some the park.
