At the theme park “Bokuka no Sato” in Takasu-cho, Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture, nemophila flowers are in full bloom.
“Bokuka no Sato” offers interactions with animals and enjoyment of seasonal flowers.
Nemophila had been planted in the park before, but this year, under the theme “Secret Flower Garden,” the number of nemophila plants has been increased to about 18,000, roughly ten times the previous amount.
Due to a series of high-temperature days, the blooming period is about ten days earlier than usual.
Visitors were enjoying the beautiful scenery where nemophila flowers and the snow-capped Hakusan mountain range appear together.
The nemophila can be enjoyed until around June 20th.
Hakusan mountain range
The Hakusan mountain range, located in central Japan, is a sacred and historically significant area centered around Mount Haku, one of Japan’s three most revered holy mountains. For centuries, it has been a site of Shugendo mountain asceticism and worship, with its first summit climb recorded in the 8th century by the monk Taicho. Today, the range is protected as part of Hakusan National Park, known for its pristine alpine landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and ancient cedar forests.
