🌸 Shibazakura, though its name includes "sakura," is not actually cherry blossoms. Every spring, they spread across the land like a colorful floral carpet. 🎨 ✅【Hokkaido】Mishima Family's Shibazakura Garden 📍: Asahi, Kutchan-cho, Hokkaido 🚇: About a 15-minute walk from JR Kutchan Station 📆: Late May to early June ✨: The shibazakura fields complement Mount Yotei, creating a dreamy floral tapestry. 🌸 Best Viewing Period From mid-May to early June each year. The blooming period is short, so it's recommended to visit before June (current blooming is nearing its end; plan for next year and check weather and blooming updates in advance). 📝 Travel Tips 1. Immersive Experience: Shibazakura (phlox subulata) grows low to the ground, blooming like a sprawling pink carpet. Bend down or sit to fully appreciate the dreamy atmosphere. 2. Photography Tips: Capture the flowers with the distant snowy mountains as a backdrop on sunny days for stunning shots; try low-angle perspectives. Early morning or dusk offers soft lighting and fewer crowds. 3. Notes: Stay on designated paths to avoid trampling the flowers. No shops are nearby, so bring your own water. 🚗 Nearby Attractions Combine your visit with hiking or hot springs in the Niseko area, where summer greenery pairs beautifully with the floral scenery. ✨ Friendly Reminder Free admission, no tickets required. Blooming periods are highly weather-dependent, so check the local tourism association’s website for updates before your trip.
