[Hokkaido] A stunning pink carpet! "Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park"

The Higashimokoto Shibazakura Festival is held every May in Higashimokoto, Ozora Town, in the eastern Hokkaido area. A stunning pink carpet of moss phlox spreads across the 10-hectare square at the foot of the mountains in Mokoto Town. The park has a campsite, sightseeing cars, go-karts, a fishing pond, hot springs, foot baths, and even Yamatsumi Shrine, with its pink torii gate that is popular on Instagram. The best time to see the flowers is usually mid-May, around the Golden Week holidays. As the flowers continue to bloom, it is generally a good time to travel to Hokkaido at an affordable price. The 2025 blooming was declared on May 9th. 📍Location: Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park, 393 Suehiro, Higashimokoto, Ozora-cho, Abashiri-gun, Hokkaido Dates: May 3rd - 31st, 2025 *Sundays during the festival are packed with events 💰Price per person: Adults (junior high school students and above) 700 yen / Children (elementary school students) 300 yen Access: About 30 minutes by car from Abashiri Station.
