Guida
Daiichi Nagisa Park is a scenic destination located along the shores of Lake Biwa in Moriyama City, Shiga Prefecture. The park features a vast area of approximately 4,000 m² where about 12,000 flowers bloom in spectacular displays throughout the seasons. It is particularly famous for the 'Kanzaki Hanana' (early-blooming rapeseed) that appears in winter, and the vibrant 'Kids Smile' sunflowers that bloom in summer. The landscape offers a harmonious blend of seasonal botanical beauty with the tranquil waters of Lake Biwa and the majestic Hira Mountain Range rising in the background.
The area is carefully managed to celebrate the changing seasons of nature. The winter landscape, featuring the Kanzaki Hanana, provides a unique visual contrast against the snow-capped Hira Mountains, deeply connecting the local natural environment with the seasonal cycle. The planting of flowers is synchronized with the natural rhythms of the region, ensuring that the landscape remains a cherished part of the local cultural heritage and natural cycle.
The primary attraction of the park is its massive, seasonal flower fields. In winter (late January to early February), approximately 12,000 Kanzaki Hanana flowers bloom alongside the snow-dusted mountains. In summer (mid-July to late July), the landscape transforms into a sea of yellow with about 12,000 'Kids Smile' sunflowers. These displays are perfectly framed by the unique natural scenery of Shiga Prefecture, including the calm surface of Lake Biza and the surrounding mountains.
The best time to visit depends entirely on the seasonal flowers you wish to see. For the winter scenery, the period from late January to early February is ideal for viewing the Kanzaki Hanana. For the summer scenery, mid-July to late July is the peak time for the sunflowers. While the park is open 24 hours, please note that the management of the flower fields and the availability of parking spaces may fluctuate based on the season and blooming status. It is highly recommended to check local updates before your visit.
Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls through the park while admiring the seasonal blooms. The vast flower fields provide a perfect backdrop to feel the rhythm of nature. However, as the flower beds are carefully managed, please be cautious not to touch the plants or step into restricted areas. It is a wonderful place to observe the growth and blooming stages of various plants in a natural environment.
Located right on the shores of Lake Biwa, the park is surrounded by rich natural landscapes. Moriyama City offers various seasonal experiences, including local gourmet food and various accommodation options, making it an excellent base for exploring the Lake Biwa area. For those traveling by large bus, please coordinate parking by using nearby facilities such as the Misaki Nature Park parking area.
Because the park utilizes certain maintenance practices (such as the use of herbicides), there are specific rules regarding pets. If you bring a pet, please ensure they are kept in a basket or a cart and are not allowed to walk on the ground. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes suitable for strolling. Additionally, since parking availability changes depending on the season, please check information in advance. For any fees related to parking, it is helpful to carry cash.
