Poppies, Nemophila, and Lupines! Go to the spectacular spots at the greedy Forest Park!

Today's report is about an outing in search of spectacular views.
The Musashi Hill National Government Park.

Musashi Hill National Government Park is a nature park in Saitama Prefecture, where you can enjoy rich nature and seasonal flowers on its vast grounds. Especially this season, flowers such as nemophila, poppies, and lupines are in full bloom, making it full of highlights.

What I thought after visiting this time is that there are multiple spots where it is easy to take "Instagrammable" photos, and it is efficient.
You can enjoy wonderful flower fields here all at once that you would normally have to visit three other tourist spots to see.
However, it is very large, so if you are greedy and try to cover the entire park, you will need physical strength and leg power, so I recommend going in comfortable walking shoes.

First is the Iceland poppies in full bloom.
It is the flower field in the athletic field.
People who come to this corner usually let out a "Wow!"

It is truly a field of Iceland poppies.
The good thing about this flower field is that paths are exquisitely laid out in just the right places, making it easy to take "Instagrammable" photos surrounded by poppies 360 degrees.

The paths are hidden by the height of the poppies.
That is where the people are.
If you focus on the person, you can take a portrait photo that looks like it is in a field of flowers.

Iceland poppies are a variety that is resistant to cold. Among the types of poppies, they bloom first. The colorful flowers in yellow, white, and orange are beautiful. After this, it seems that Shirley poppies from spilled seeds will bloom in this flower field in their place.

The park is large and has a cycling course, so I think it is also good to enjoy cycling while feeling the chirping of small birds and the refreshing breeze of early summer.
On this day, the voices of bush warblers were calling to each other here and there.

And, since Calanthe discolor and others are quietly blooming in the dappled sunlight, you need to walk while looking closely at places other than the flower fields.

This is the "Blue Flower Field" that was next to the lupines.
Delphiniums were in full bloom.

This area was tulips a little while ago, wasn't it...

And here are the lupines.
At the Komorebi Flower Garden.

A field of lupines is also quite a sight to behold.

There was someone doing a cosplay photoshoot using a white veil.
I wonder if they were going for a fairy-like image?

And then, the nemophila.
The flower garden at the West Gate Plaza.
Since it is planted on a slope, you can take photos that look like Hitachi Seaside Park.
The area is about 5,000 square meters.

Now, for lunch that day, I chose this.
Swamp gourmet on sale.

Swamp?

Namegawa Town, where the Forest Park is located, is the town with the most swamps in the Kanto region, and it is said that there are about 40 swamps in the park.
So, these are 'swamp gourmet' dishes inspired by those swamps.

What I had was this swamp curry.
That said, the flavor was green curry. It was delicious.
It didn't feel that spicy, and I thought it was adjusted to a flavor that children could easily eat.
(The spicy part was the sausage, if anything)

It is set up so you can take it out and eat it on benches outside, etc. (You can also eat it in the restaurant)

There are also drinks and soft-serve ice cream inspired by the swamps.

But when you think about it, green food has a wide repertoire because it's the color of plants. Matcha, Genovese sauce, curry, mugwort, and so on.
When you hear 'swamp,' you might be surprised, but since the flavors are all reliable, I thought it was a good idea.

And for a snack that day.

The bear soft-serve ice cream at the West Gate shop.
A polar bear and a regular bear.
(The hats are Bugles corn snacks)
The salty taste of the Bugles goes well with the soft-serve ice cream, a perfect balance.
I liked this better than regular soft-serve ice cream.

In May, I expect the aforementioned Shirley poppies to bloom, creating a bright red flower field, and the 'Herb Garden' with its colorful flowers and colored leaves should be at its best.

The following season features a breathtaking landscape of coleus, cockscomb, and sunflowers that is often featured on television.

National Musashi Hill Forest Park is where flowers of every season bloom in profusion, allowing you to encounter a variety of scenery all in one day.
It is highly recommended for outings in the coming season as well.
