Hokuto Cherry Blossom Corridor
Glowing 300-Year-Old Blossoms in a Magical Night
As spring arrives, Hokuto City turns a vibrant pink. The Hokuto Cherry Blossom Corridor, located near Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station, is a seasonal highlight where history and nature meet through stunning weeping trees and romantic floral tunnels.
The star is the 300-year-old weeping cherry tree at Hokiji Temple. Standing 12 meters tall, this giant is illuminated in the night silence. Its petals shimmer like gold, pouring from the sky in a breathtaking display. Nearby, along the Ono River, 300 meters of Yoshino cherry trees color the water, while a gentle breeze carries their faint, sweet fragrance.
For a historic stroll, visit the 800-meter cherry blossom tunnel at the Matsumae Domain Tokirichi Jinya Ruins. The dense canopy creates a natural roof, with the soft rustling of branches overhead. Further on, the Kiyokawa Thousand Cherry Trees stretch for 1.8 kilometers. Enjoy a scenic spring drive through Hokuto, feeling the crisp night air amidst the fleeting beauty of the blossoms.
