What other travelers are saying about Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park
Visited on 14 May 2025 at around 2pm. Happy to see pink moss blooming. Pleasant weather. We walked all the way to the top of the hill. Beautiful scenery. Amazing experience.
The best time to visit Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park is from early May to early June when the shibazakura (pink moss phlox) flowers are in full bloom. Peak blooming season typically occurs in mid-May, creating stunning pink carpets across the hillside in Hokkaido.
From Memanbetsu Airport, take a bus or rent a car to reach Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park, located about 30 minutes away in Ozora Town, Hokkaido. The park is accessible via Route 334, and parking is available on-site during the blooming season from May to June.
Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park charges an entrance fee of approximately 500 yen for adults during the blooming season (May-June). Children under elementary school age enter free. The park is only open during shibazakura season, typically from late April to early June.
Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park offers walking trails through the pink moss phlox fields, observation decks for panoramic views, a gift shop selling local products, food stalls serving Hokkaido specialties, and parking facilities. Visitors can enjoy photography, nature walks, and scenic views of the surrounding mountains.
Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park is only open to the public during the shibazakura blooming season from late April to early June. The park closes after the pink moss phlox flowering period ends, as the main attraction is the spectacular display of pink flowers covering the hillsides in Hokkaido.
This place boasts some truly special cherry blossoms. The colors are incredibly vibrant, and the sheer scale of the blooms is breathtaking. The scenery is simply stunning, and there are plenty of fun activities to enjoy as well. The only thing you need to worry about is having enough storage on your phone, because you'll be taking tons of pictures!
26/4/25 jus tried our luck swing by the park. As stated 3/5 officially opens. So we literally saw nothing although it’s one wk apart.
I wonder how this pinkies gonna grow by 3/5?! Not even a young buds being seen in the park
Found this place through the T.V series (manga adaptation) Hokkaido Gals are Super Adorable! by Kai Ikada. I really don't read or watch romance genres and haven't had read any since 2021( in O/L's subject - English Lit story - Twilight of a Crane) . I would like to say this is my first romance (including rom-com and slice of life) story/anime I have come access since Twilight of a Crane wasn't found by me nor I read it intentionally at the beginning...
I love both of them but this (Hokkaido Gals are Super Adorable!) , I really love this so much. The scenes really are from real-life locations. That's what makes this unique for me. And the love reaction (known as chemistry) going between them and also with others really feels natural especially with the environmental setting, Winter to sprint then summer to autumn.
All the pictures/images uploaded with this comment are based on the anime Hokkaido Gals are Super Adorable! and were originally taken from the anime by myself. All the credits goes to the anime producers and author @Kai Ikada. Thank you all for this marvelous creation. Looking forward for an announcement of Season 2 (🥹)
Went here during May23, peak blossom. It does look like moss from far and like a carpet too. There are plenty of photo spots and some eateries selling ice creams and fast foods.
If you have problems walking, there is a mini bus service going around the park. The driver will drive very slowly so you can take pictures with ease and enjoy the view.
We didn't have enough time to explore every inch of the park because of tight schedule. Maybe next time.
Highly recommend if northern Hokkaido is part of your plan. From Sapporo will take about 4-6h. So it won't be a day trip.
