@needthisjapan: Every October, this whole hill turns red. ❤️ About 30,000 round kochia bushes cover Miharashi Hill at Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki — green in summer, bright crimson in autumn. Walk the path to the top for the sea view. Best time: mid to late October on a sunny day, and go early on weekends because it gets busy. It's about 15 minutes by bus from JR Katsuta Station, roughly 2 hours from Tokyo. Save this for your Japan trip.
