4.5 Million Blue Flowers Are in Bloom at This Japanese Park and It Looks Like a Fairy Tale

The nemophila bloom takes place from late April to mid-May, with the blue flowers covering the 8.6 acres of the park’s Miharashi no Oka Hill.

The delicate flowers, nicknamed “baby blue eyes,” are round and transparent with a sky-blue coloring. The flowers lose their beautiful color toward mid-May so the best time to see them is early in the blooming season.

Unfortunately, the park was closed until further notice on April 4 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so you’ll have to wait until next year to make the visit.
