Hiraoka Park

Hiraoka Park is best known for its vibrant plum grove, but it also features beautiful cherry blossoms that make it a popular spring destination. Located in the outskirts of Sapporo, the park offers a more serene and less touristy hanami experience. The cherry trees are scattered throughout the park, with some forming lovely tunnels of pink petals. Unlike other parks, visitors can enjoy the combination of both plum and cherry blossoms, creating a unique and colorful display. The spacious park is great for families, picnics, and photography enthusiasts looking for a natural setting. While public transportation options are limited, those who make the effort to visit are rewarded with a peaceful escape from the city. If you want to experience both cherry and plum blossoms in one visit, Hiraoka Park is an excellent choice for a relaxing spring outing.
