History and Highlights

​Sera Kogen Farm​ is a sightseeing flower farm located in Sera-cho. Sera-cho is in the east-central part of Hiroshima Prefecture, sprawling across a plateau called the "Sera Plateau" at an elevation of 350 to 450 meters. With a large temperature difference between day and night, it is a major producer of agricultural goods, and large-scale sightseeing flower farms are dotted around the town.

In the Sera Plateau area, there are four sightseeing flower farms: Sera Kogen Farm, Flower Village Kamu-no-Sato, Sora no Hanabatake Sera Kogen Hana no Mori, and Sera Fuji-en, welcoming 300,000 visitors annually. Sera Kogen Farm has the longest history among them. Characterized by expansive plantings and colorful flower fields, seasonal blooms color the Sera Plateau throughout the year, with weeping cherry blossoms and tulips in spring, sunflowers in summer, and dahlias and garden mums in autumn.

In spring, weeping cherry blossoms bloom across a hill of about 30,000 square meters, vividly adorning the spring plateau along with the yellow of canola flowers. Following that in the tulip season, 750,000 tulip bulbs bloom across an expansive field of 65,000 square meters.

• ​Tulip patterns varying by field​​: The tulips are planted with different designs in each field, with the breathtaking "flower art" using flowers to depict patterns being a particular standout.

• ​Autumn dahlias and garden mums​​: In autumn, fields of diverse dahlias and aster-family garden mums spread out, creating a multi-colored floral garden.

Tips for Exploring

By car, it is about 14 kilometers and around 18 minutes from the Sera Interchange on the Chugoku Yamanami Kaido. On weekends and national holidays during the flower seasons, a direct bus connecting the flower farms of Sera-cho, the "Sera Noen Hana Meguri Ticket," operates from Hiroshima Bus Center. Outside these periods and on weekdays, there are no direct buses, so visitors use taxis or rental cars from the nearest bus stop or station. Nearby roads can become congested during peak flower blooming periods and long holiday stretches. There are also eateries and souvenir shops within the farm.

From the farm, it takes about 25 minutes by car to Flower Village Kamu-no-Sato in the same Sera-cho, and about 10 minutes by car to Sera Fuji-en. Heading northeast for about 8 kilometers brings you to Joge-cho in Fuchu City, where streetscapes with white plaster walls remain.
