Daimaruyama Forest Park
Crimson Azaleas and Santa's Magic Above the Pacific
A scenic hillside escape within Hiroo Santa Land, where 12,000 azaleas and winter illuminations meet sweeping Pacific views and quiet romance.
Perched above the coastline, Daimaruyama Forest Park blends natural scenery with festive charm. In early summer, around 12,000 Ezo mountain azaleas bloom in vivid crimson, covering the slopes in rich color. At Santa’s Hill, about 20 varieties of perennial flowers add seasonal accents, while the observation deck opens onto wide views of Hiroo Town and the deep blue Pacific Ocean.
Designated as a Lover’s Sanctuary in 2011, the park is a favorite for couples seeking a peaceful, romantic escape. Inside Santa’s House, visitors can find exclusive Santa-themed souvenirs available only here.
As winter approaches, the forest glows with about 150,000 lights and 10,000 wooden lanterns. An evening walk beneath the illuminated trees, with the soft chime of Santa’s Bell in the air, creates a memorable seasonal experience.
From crimson summer slopes to glowing winter nights, Daimaruyama Forest Park invites visitors to discover a landscape of light, color, and sea breeze.
