An inspiring autumn trip to Kinchakuda Manjushage Park, wrapped in a crimson carpet

An emotional autumn trip to Kinchakuda Manjushage Park, wrapped in a crimson carpet Kinchakuda Manjushage Park in Hidaka City, Saitama Prefecture, is one of the largest clusters of manjushage flowers in Japan, with about 5 million blooming in the fall. The author visited in late September. The crimson flowers spread all over the drawstring-shaped terrain created by the meandering Koma River, creating a truly "red carpet." The fantastic scenery left me speechless. The park is spacious, and walking along the riverside promenade while watching the flowers swaying in the autumn breeze will calm your mind. There is an admission fee (500 yen for adults) only during the blooming season, but the excitement awaits. You can face nature on a solo trip, or make autumn memories with your partner. This trip was a time enveloped in the "quiet emotion" that autumn nature gives us.
