What to do in Chichibu

Activities, attractions and tours

Hitsujiyama Park (羊山公園) in Chichibu has an amazing field of Shiba-zakura, or moss phlox. There are nine different types of moss phlox that cover over 17,000 sqm (4.3 acres) of the park. Not only is the scenery amazing, you can enjoy the sweet scent in the air as well! *They are usually in full bloom from late April to the first week of May. *The closest station is Yokoze Station or Seibu Chichibu Station on the Seibu Chichibu Line. There is an extremely steep hill on the way from Seibu Chichibu Station so if you're not up for that or have senior citizens in your party, definitely go from Yokoze Station. It's about 1.5 to 2hrs from Tokyo.

I was about 2 weeks early for #shibazakura, most of them were still being planted at the time. I wasn't upset I was early though because if I wasn't I wouldn't have seen these elderly work together, meticulously plucking each old pot out, planting each new pot in. Took them about 10 mins each row and there must have been millions of them to be done. Thank you, behind-the-scene legends.
