Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park & Festival
A Velvet Carpet of Pink Blossoms Across the Rolling Hills
From early May to early June, ten hectares of hills transform into a pink paradise. Nurtured by a single farmer over 20 years, this breathtaking landscape offers a sensory journey through one of Hokkaido’s most iconic spring sights.
Imagine standing in a sea of blossoms, where shades of crimson and violet paint the earth like a plush velvet carpet. As you wander the 50-meter-high hills, the sweet fragrance of moss phlox (shibazakura) drifts on the May breeze. At the heart of this wonderland sits Yamatsumi Shrine. Its striking pink torii gate, perfectly matching the blooms, creates a stunning contrast against the blue sky—a dream-like scene famous on social media.
The park offers more than just a view. Catch the wind on an 820-meter go-kart track or enjoy a leisurely ride to the second observation deck for a sweeping panorama. After exploring, find serenity at the park’s natural footbath. Soaking in warm, mineral-rich waters amidst the floral scent is the ultimate way to recharge. During the annual festival, vibrant musical performances on the outdoor stage ensure your Hokkaido spring visit is truly unforgettable.
