The fields of Kurihama Flower Park in Yokosuka are covered in colourful poppies and nemophila blooms from April 10 to May 30. There are about one million poppy flowers here including Iceland poppies, California poppies and shirley poppies that bloom simultaneously starting in early April, covering 18,000sqm of of the park in bright pink, red, orange and yellow.
The blue nemophila, or ‘baby blue eyes’, bloom on top of a hill overlooking the city, creating what the park calls a ‘flower field in the sky.’
Hop on the flower train (¥300, children ¥200), which will take you all around the park including to its café, herb garden, foot bath and a children’s play area with a big Godzilla statue.
