Flower village Hanayume no Sato is a seasonal floral park located in the hilly Sera district of Hiroshima Prefecture. It is specifically renowned for its massive displays of shibazakura (moss phlox) and nemophila (baby blue eyes) that cover the rolling landscape in spring. The park features a dramatic pink 'shibazakura hill' that creates a panoramic carpet effect during peak bloom. The design uses undulating terrain to provide visitors with elevated views of the flower beds. The site operates as a seasonal destination, opening its grounds exclusively for major spring and autumn flower festivals. It covers a significant expanse of rural highland, emphasizing natural topography over artificial landscaping. The location is part of the broader Sera Kogen flower tourism region.
