Platanus Avenue
A Romantic Tree-Lined Escape
Experience one of Japan’s most majestic 3-kilometer promenades, where nature and architecture blend in perfect harmony.
Asahikawa’s iconic Platanus Avenue forms a living "green tunnel," with massive branches arching overhead and a canopy that transforms beautifully with the seasons. In spring, fresh green leaves glow in the sunlight; summer brings dense shade and a refreshing play of light and shadow; autumn turns the avenue into a golden masterpiece, with crisp leaves rustling underfoot; and in winter, snow-dusted branches stand in serene, elegant beauty. No matter the season, this avenue leaves a lasting impression.
Located near Kaguraoka Park in the Midorigaoka district, the avenue is lined with charming French restaurants, cafés, and graceful churches. The area is affectionately called the "Romantic Road," and its warm lights in the evening create a magical atmosphere, quite different from the soft serenity of the daytime. Whether you stroll slowly, cycle through the avenue, or combine your visit with photography and café hopping, you can fully immerse yourself in the refined aesthetics and seasonal charm of Asahikawa.
