Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park: In Japan's North, the Floor Comes Alive With Sakura Colors | LIVE JAPAN travel guide

Along with the arrival of spring in May, Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park is decorated in a stunning pink, with broad fields of blooming shibazakura flowers (moss phlox). Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park (ひがしもこと芝桜公園) is home to one of Hokkaido's most famous flower fields. The Shibazakura Festival is timed to coincide with the blossoming of the flowers in the spring, which comes later in Hokkaido than in other areas of Japan. You'll love every moment here as there is a variety of activities to choose from and places to visit - shops serving local gourmet dishes, a go-kart course, day-visits to hot springs, fishing ponds, an old, historical shrine and more!
