Mishima Shibazakura Garden
A Vibrant Carpet of Spring at the Foot of the Mountains
Experience the breathtaking contrast of vivid pink flowers against Hokkaido’s snow-capped peaks.
In the town of Kutchan, a stunning natural masterpiece comes to life every spring. Mishima Shibazakura Garden is a celebrated destination where waves of pink and white shibazakura (moss phlox) create a vibrant floral carpet, perfectly offsetting the lingering snow on the majestic mountains.
This spectacular sight is the lifework of local resident Mr. Mishima Kazuo, who hand-planted every seedling with care. His dedication has turned this garden into a seasonal landmark. A must-see is the "Shibazakura Mt. Yotei"—a miniature peak crafted from white flowers. Seeing it stand alongside the real Mt. Yotei in the background is a special view unique to this location.
As you stroll, a soft, sweet fragrance carries on the breeze, enveloping your senses. The contrast of deep purples, soft pinks, and snowy whites creates a scene as beautiful as a painting. We invite you to enjoy a leisurely walk through this garden of love and color while feeling the refreshing early summer wind.
