National Hitachi Seaside Park Pleasure Garden is an amusement zone located within the larger Hitachi Seaside Park in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki Prefecture. The garden is famous for the Flower Ring Ferris wheel, which offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding coastal landscape. The park integrates traditional amusement rides, including a carousel, rollercoaster, and children’s train, into a garden setting known for its seasonal floral displays. It sits on a massive coastal site that famously blooms with nemophila (baby blue eyes) in spring and kochia (burning bush) in autumn. The facility features over 25 individual attractions geared toward families and children. The landscape is designed to accommodate the park's topography, allowing for expansive views of the nearby Ajigaura beach. It remains one of the few amusement parks in Japan operated within a government-managed national park system.
