The scenery from last April is still deeply engraved in my mind: snow-capped mountains. Cherry blossoms. Tulips and rapeseed flowers🌸 Four kinds of natural scenery blooming at the same time Very dreamy! Among the many modes of transportation, starting from Toyama is the most convenient. Take the Aikaze Railway to Tomari Station, and then take the shuttle bus to the venue. First, follow the crowd to enjoy the quartet. Then go to the less crowded cherry blossom area Stroll along the cherry blossom trails on both sides of the river, and slowly enjoy the beautiful scenery of snow-capped mountain cherry blossoms.

A picturesque place with tulips in the foreground, snowy mountains in the background, and sakura in the middle. I visited on April 16, 2024, which was after the event period, so some sakura had already started to fall. However, the tulips were in full bloom. The weather was nice and sunny. It's recommended to have a private car for convenience, but if you don't have one, there are shuttle buses from Tomari Station during the event period.
