The ruins of the old Urakami Cathedral are really striking. You can really feel the force of the explosion.

Hitachi Seaside Park
Hitachi Seaside Park is a large park that spans an area of about 215 hectares. During springtime, daffodils, tulips, and nemophila bloom. In early summer, there are roses, and in summer, there are zinnias and sunflowers. Autumn brings forth kochia and cosmos. During winter ice tulips, plum blossoms, and other seasonal flowers bloom. In particular, the nemophilia that bloom from mid-April through early May are lauded for their gorgeous blue color, blending the sky, sea, and flowers together into a vast expanse of blue.
If you ride the Ferris wheel, you can see the whole seaside park from above.

Yoyogi Park
The large 544,711.27㎡ site of this park is filled with water and greenery, something that you don’t often find in the heart of Tokyo. During springtime around 800 cherry trees blossom beautifully, and the area around the south side’s fountain is particularly popular as a cherry blossom viewing location.
This is a huge and well-known forest park. There are various events on holidays, making it a great spot for relaxing in Tokyo.
