    Summer’s the best season for sunflowers🌻 took 1.5 hours to go here from Ota City, got off at Sakura station then took a bus. The park wasn’t really packed so i recommend you all to go for a visit. There’s no entry fee! You can pick & cut the flowers (I forgot how much was it, but it was less than ¥300). However, the bus (to the station) doesn’t stop frequently so i had to wait for about 2 hours. Still recommend it tho^_^

    When we went there, the flower fields were not in bloom however you can still visit the place. There is a souvenir shop in the front, a bicycle rental shop for kids and adults, a vending machine and a lot of food stands are available. There is also a paid boat tour you can enjoy. An inflatable slide area is also put up for kids to enjoy. There are koi fishes you can feed (fish food sold there) around the wind mill. Car parking is not free on peak hours and weekends.

    Too far from station. Few busses (like only 4 buses a day). They don’t mention any info of flower viewing, so seeing flowers in good condition is based on luck. Came in summer and it was super hot but no shelter at all (only one random shop) and they already bulldoze the flowers. Maybe it’s better to come in First to mid week of July.

    It's amazing how you can go into the wind mill to see the mechanics behind. No flowers as it's during winter. Saw the picturesque location and dropped by for a quick visit. Wasn't disappointed. The shops sells local organic fruits and vegetables, food and drinks. I would highly recommend having a visit over here.

    In summer they have sunflower, in fall there will be cosmos and in spring this place is filled with tulips. What a great are where you can see flowers every season. My favorite so far is the sunflower. It is really pretty at around sunset. The place is easy to reach and there is a direct bus from Keisei Sakura station (only in flowering season). The river nearby is also pretty and we can do several water sports like kayak.

    One of the most refreshing sites to spend quality time in peace during all seasons but amazingly colorful with the beauty is Sakura and tulip fields. The Danish windmill in the center of the square makes it even more attractive. Some days, you can actually go inside the windmill to see how it rotates, and the views from the windows in the column of windmill are simply amazing. No ticket to enter the park or the windmill, just a parking fee for each car - maximum 1000 yens.

    Gorgeous location next to a beautiful river and wide open fields. I visited on a beautiful sunny day in late Autumn, well past tulip and sunflower season, and still had a lovely time enjoying the surrounding landscapes. I walked from Sakura JR station which is about 7km. It took about 1 hour 30 minutes and the route is lovely. There are 2 shops by the windmill, one which sells souvenirs and snacks, and another that sells local farm produce. I tried the sakura mochi which was delicious and bought some postcards.

    Beautiful heaven of colorful Tulips. Any visitors must be amazed to be here. There is a beautiful lake near around. visitors can take tulip, but you need to pay for. The surroundings here during tulip look like festival. I think going there in tulip season is worth visiting.

    Wide park lined with dozens of different kinds of tulips on spring season. Lovely place for a stroll. They also have bicycle rentals.

    A decent park with free parking. It's great for taking a walk or biking. There are two shops available to grab simple groceries or just a snack while you're there (many spots to sit). If you want to take pictures plants/flowers change seasonally, so each season has something to view.

    The flowers are pretty, you can buy sunflower to hold and take pictures with 100¥ for each. But it can be very hot during midday and there weren't do much chair or place that u can cool down. Nice view with the windmill though.

    I visited on Aug 2021 little late so i can see few sunflowers only. Very big place to relax and bring your kids to play. It looks like village area so you see rice field around. Windmill is not working . But you can take photos with flowers.

    Beautiful to its fullest weather you want to visit in spring for tulips years or in summer for sunflowers mesmerizing

    Beautiful tulip farm. You can enjoy some street food from the park. Try to enjoy the boat service too.

    Sakura Tulip Festival. Flowers had beautiful hues and a large variety. Common festival stores. There's even an activity to dig up tulips to bring home at a cost of 500 yen for 10.

    Lovely place to spend a few hours during the tulip festival. The colours are amazing. Busy on a weekday, so probably an absolute scrum on the weekend.

    2022/04/10. Huge flower park. Too many cars. Long que to enter tha parking lot. It was over crowded due to Sunday. Last year, it was much pleasant atmosphere. But this year, stressful atmosphere due to crowd.

    This is a vast place with thousands of Tulips in April. No need to mention that this is one of the biggest flowers festivals near by Tokyo. You can take tulips plants home for a small price (as I remember 500 yen or something) Let me share my personal thoughts. It's really far from Tokyo compared to what you get there. I mean you can see small but more beautiful flower festivals near Tokyo(ex : Showa Kinen Park) Due to its size, flower fields are so open and spread. So it might be hard to get a compact view. And there is no near by station and train line is going right next to this garden. You have to take a bus or rent a bicycle nearby the station. I think after Tulips it gets sunflowers..

    Very neat place! It's worth a visit and makes for a quick trip. As all there is to do is look at tulips. There are also some food trucks. And 2 small shops where you can buy sweets, not really a souvenir shop. Take a $15 taxi there and walk 30min ls back to Kesei station...it's worth it.

    Good place for one day outing. Nicely maintained tulip field in different colours. It has a Dutch style windmill, many food stalls and entertainment.

  • 5/5 Tina V. 3 years ago on Google
    The place feels like Keukenhof in the Netherlands, only smaller. And you can dig out the tulips with bulbs and take them home. It is worth a visit. You can also take a stroll around the beautiful lake nearby.

    It’s awesome place to visit, The Authentic Dutch Windmill "De Liefde" In the spring of 1994, Sakura City celebrated its 40th municipality. For this anniversary, the windmill "De Liefde" was built as the landmark of Sakura Furusato Square, and also as a symbol of friendlyrelations between the Netherlands and Sakura City. "De Liefde" is Japan's first authentic Dutch water pumping windmill actually being operated. It was manufactured mainly in the Netherlands and was assembled in Sakura with the cooperation of Dutch engineers. The four-story windmill tower, built from reinforced concrete and brick walls, measures 15.6 meters high.It has four sails that form 27.5 meters in diameter. Visitors can enter the tower and can closely observe mechanism of the internal structure, including the waterwheel which locates on the ground foor.

    Great spot to relax on a warm day! The riverside was very calming. The locally-made ice cream was delicious. Combining the windmill with the race paddles in the area made for beautiful scenery.

    It is like a mini Holland or Netherlands in Japan during spring time. We went there in the first week of April because they have their spring festival. You can see a wide field of different varieties of beautiful tulips and you can buy them too. You can also see a line of beautiful cherry blossoms in front of the big windmill with a wonderful view of the lake. In their spring festival, there were movable food stands in the area apart from the two shops (small buildings) where you can buy farmers’ local goods, food, snacks, and souvenirs. Children can also enjoy some shows like cute monkeys doing tricks, etc. This area becomes lively during spring time because of the tulips and cherry blossoms. But with the rest of the seasons, you can only enjoy the lake view, windmill, cycling, and buy some local goods at the two shops (small building). This place is also very popular with cyclists as they can safely cycle along the exclusive road for cycling and walking surrounding the lake. They can enjoy the lake view or drop by to rest and to have some refreshments or snacks at the same time.
