Hokkaido | Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park Let's enjoy the flowers together again in May

I went to Hokkaido (Eastern Hokkaido) at the end of May. When I was collecting information before departure, I found that most of them were travel notes before the epidemic. In addition, May is not the traditional Hokkaido tourist season, so there is really not much information🥹🥹So I hope to record it here so that people who are going there in the future can have more reference~ The first thing I want to introduce to you is the sea of ​​flowers 🌸🌸When you go to Hokkaido, you either see the snow or the flowers. It’s really awkward in May because the snow is gone and the flowers in Furano haven’t bloomed yet, but fortunately I found this article about the sea of ​​​​shibazakura! This sea of ​​flowers blooms in Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park every May, and the opening period is about a month. This year, the most lush and beautiful period is May 13th and 14th. When I went there, it was around the 25th, and the flowers were still blooming beautifully. In addition to viewing the flowers, there are also various activities in the park that can be participated in for an additional fee, such as sightseeing buses around the park, which are convenient for the elderly to visit; go-karts, which can be played by one person or two people in the same car (but it’s a bit crowded 🤣, and it can enhance the relationship for couples 🤣); foot baths, where you can soak your feet when you are tired of walking around, and it seems that there is also fishing or something, but to be honest, this beautiful scenery is enough for everyone to check in for a whole day, and other activities are just a foil 🤣. There is also a Shibazakura version of ice cream outside the venue. How can you not eat milk ice cream in Hokkaido! ! I also found petals according to the leaflet given on site. They said that most flowers have five petals, so finding different numbers of petals represents your luck. The order is 5, 6, 4, 7. Finding 7 petals means very good luck. I only found 4, which I think is not bad. Before planning your trip, you can visit the official website to see how the flowers are blooming. On-site pictures are updated every day. How to get there: I drove from Abashiri, which takes about 20-30 minutes. However, there are free shuttle buses on certain dates, please check the official website for details. #Hokkaido #Flower-viewing guide #Sign up for hotel test sleeper
