Shibazakura Takinoue Park & Shibazakura Festival

From a Single Crate to a Vast Floral Carpet

Spanning over 100,000 square meters on a gentle hillside, Shibazakura Takinoue Park transforms into a breathtaking landscape of pink and purple from early to late May. This vibrant moss phlox carpet captivates all who visit, marking the arrival of spring in Hokkaido.


What began decades ago with just a single crate of seedlings has flourished into one of the largest moss phlox colonies in Japan. The panoramic view of the mountainside, adorned in vivid hues, offers an overwhelming sense of scale. As you wander through the park, you are surrounded by the sweet, gentle fragrance of countless tiny blossoms. The soft texture of the petals against the vivid colors creates a scene that perfectly captures the essence of a northern spring.


During the peak bloom, the Dowa Village Takinoue Shibazakura Festival brings even more excitement, including helicopter tours that offer a stunning aerial view of the pink sea. Seeing the vast landscape from above provides a moving experience unlike any other. With parking available for 165 vehicles, the park is well-prepared to welcome travelers looking to immerse themselves in this seasonal wonder.
