Higashimokoto and best of Japan

#cherryblossom25 Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park in Hokkaido offers a breathtaking display of moss phlox, known as shibazakura, which resembles cherry blossoms carpeting the ground. From early May to early June, the park’s 10-hectare hillside transforms into a vivid sea of pink, purple, and white blooms, attracting visitors from near and far. The annual Shibazakura Festival celebrates this spectacle with local cuisine, stage performances, and activities like go-karting and fishing. A climb to the observation deck provides panoramic views of the floral expanse, while the pink torii gate adds a touch of cultural charm. This vibrant display is a testament to the park’s unique beauty.
