Amidst the global health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Japan is experiencing an enchanting spring season. Typically, the Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki, Japan, attracts many visitors during the blooming months of spring. However, due to the country-wide lockdown, the park remains empty. This vast garden spans over 470 acres and boasts millions of daffodils, 170 varieties of tulips, and over 5 million ‘baby blue eyes’ (Nemophila). The annual event called “Nemophila Harmony” takes place in April, where a sea of blue flowers bloom, creating a stunning sight. Take a look at these gorgeous images from the park:
