🌸 Higashikawa, Hokkaido — Twilight Sakura Magic

#cherryblossom25 On the last day of Golden Week, after a trip to the local specialty market, I rushed to the park below the ski resort upon hearing the cherry blossoms were in full bloom—and wow, it was breathtaking at sunset. This quiet village, Higashikawa, is such a hidden gem. The sakura here may not be from a famous city like Hakodate, but these "wild countryside blossoms" were planted over eight years by loving local couples—so romantic! 💕 🌿 Why Visit This Park in Higashikawa? 📍 Address: 北海道上川郡東川町西5号北44 A peaceful sakura trail with a view of the mountains Divided areas for camping (no BBQs allowed) A small animal petting zoo halfway up the hill Go-karting nearby and even golf at the base of the mountain It’s the kind of spot you’ll want to return to on the next sunny day to explore at your own pace—relaxing, scenic, and completely off the beaten path. #thingstodo
