What other travelers are saying about Awaji Hanasajiki Park
After a quick stop at the Aikashi-Kaikyo Bridge, we decided to visit this flower park. The park was well-maintained and wonderfully peaceful. The flowers were beautiful. We spent an hour in the park. Parking was cheap (200 yen) and the restrooms were very clean. The park itself wasn't expensive, but the bridge toll made it a short and expensive visit (2,410 yen times 2).
The view here is beautiful, with flower fields spread across a hill overlooking the sea and the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in the distance.
It is not a full sea of blooms and not large in scale, but it has its own charm.
I visited in late July and literally melted walking under the scorching sun, even with an umbrella.
Parking costs 200 yen, and admission is free.
There is also a restaurant and a souvenir shop selling Awaji produce and local specialties.
The scenery is still beautiful even though there weren't a lot of blooming flowers when we visited. I also love how the paddy/ flower art was designed by children! It's free admission but you can patronise the souvenir shop and purchase local specialties.
P.s. the public toilets here were spotless.
Such a beautiful spot. You only need to pay for parking as the gardens are free. The views are amazing and the flowers seasonal. We always go during the himawari (sunflowers) blossoming.
I love the view of this place. Beautiful scenery and they have a restaurant and museum located in this place! The park is huge and the view is spectacular! I have seen lots of tourists coming by bus. And you need a car to get here but the entrance is free!

The elevated location at 250 meters above sea level provides panoramic viewing opportunities of the Akashi Strait and Osaka Bay, making it ideal for photography and sightseeing.
