Sobetsu Park
A Stunning Spot for Plum and Cherry Blossoms
Sobetsu Park, spanning about 86,000 square meters, is renowned for its breathtaking plum blossoms. On the slope overlooking Lake Toya, a plum grove stretches across about 20,000 square meters, bursting into soft pink blooms in mid-May. Around 300 Bungo plums (a traditional Japanese variety) bloom during this time. Since cherry blossoms are also still in season in mid-May, the park is one of the rare places where visitors can enjoy plum and cherry blossoms together.
Beyond the blossoms, Sobetsu Park offers one of the best panoramic viewpoints in the Lake Toya area. Visitors can take in sweeping views of Lake Toya, Mt. Usu, Showa-Shinzan, and even Mt. Yotei and the Niseko mountain range in the distance.
Sobetsu Park is a must-visit destination for flower lovers and scenic view seekers alike—an ideal stop on your journey through Hokkaido.
