During April when the spring flowers are in bloom, a convenient shuttle bus runs from JR Fukushima Station to Hanamiyama Park. A short bus ride.
|
|
Before you go to Hanamiyama Park, you can leave your luggage here right next to the bus stop.
|
|
Hanamiyama Park is literally a Flower-Viewing Mountain Park famous for spring flowers especially cherry blossoms sprinkled on the mountainsides.
|
|
It started in 1935 when local flower growers began planting flowers. In April 1959, it became Hanamiyama Park.

About Hanamiyama Park.
|
|
From the bus stop, you walk a bit to Hanamiyama Park. Very pleasant walk.
|
|
Although Hanamiyama Park is most famous for cherry blossoms (which past their peak when I visited), there are many other spring flowers as well.
