During the cherry blossom season from mid-April to early May, travelers planning a visit to Hokkaido can appreciate the magnificent blooms at various scenic locations. At Goryokaku Park in Hakodate, approximately 1,500 cherry trees are planted, and ascending Goryokaku Tower offers a panoramic view of the star-shaped arrangement of blossoms, complemented by a romantic light show at night; also in Hakodate, the 800-meter-long Sakura Hill Street provides visitors with a stroll reminiscent of a cherry blossom tunnel, illustrating the perfect fusion of cherry blossoms with urban life. In addition, in Otaru, Temiya Park features a spectacular scene where cherry blossoms mirror the vast ocean, while Matsumae Park, with around 250 varieties and tens of thousands of cherry trees harmonizing with the historic castle keep, reveals the unique charm of Hokkaido’s early-blooming cherry blossoms.
