A renowned spot for cherry blossoms and autumn spider lilies — Seasonal blooms delight visitors year-round

This is the site of Motegi Castle during the Kamakura Period, and today it is a park that is the symbol of Motegi Town.
From the small hill overlooking the center of town, you can see Sakasa River and the steam locomotives running behind the smoke.
In spring, various types of cherry blossoms bloom one after another, allowing you to enjoy flower viewing for about a month.
In autumn (mid-September to early October), the entire southern slope of Shiroyama Park is dyed bright red with approximately 550,000 red spider lilies, a delight to visitors.
It is rare to see a cluster of red spider lilies growing on a slope, and many photographers gather here as they can take photos from a different angle than on the flat land.
