Oh dear! Already in full bloom? 🌸 This morning, I took a photo of the cherry blossoms at the entrance of Wakin Peninsula. 🌸 Could it be that they are already in full bloom? If you haven't seen them yet, head to the main road at the entrance of Wakin Peninsula soon! 🏃‍♂️💨

This season, starting from Wednesday, May 6th, we have installed a cycle rack next to the entrance on the first floor of Akan Lake Marimukan! Enjoy your cycling life during the green season at Lake Akan Onsen as well!♪

This is also the first year for the indoor exhibition at Tokachi Hills' Umbrella Sky. I remembered seeing something similar somewhere, and that's probably because it resembles an event in a certain location in Fukushima Prefecture.

The Akanko Lake Opening Ceremony 2026 was held on Wednesday, April 29th. Despite the sleet-like weather, many people enjoyed the local specialties of Akanko Lake and a brass band performance by the students of Akanko Municipal Compulsory Education School. Additionally, a Kamui-nomi ceremony was conducted to pray for the safety and prosperity of the event, celebrating the start of the green season tourism in Akanko Lake.

This is the Umbrella Sky (Sakura) at Tokachi Hills in Makubetsu, Hokkaido. It is held every June, but this year it started in May. A few days ago, there was a day of strong winds that caused damage, leading to its closure. Although repairs have been made since then, full recovery seems difficult. From June, the colors of the umbrellas will change significantly.

Rokka no Mori, located in Nakasatsunaimura, Hokkaido, is a vast area dotted with small art museums, where wildflowers that change with the seasons will greet you.

Spring treats await you with a strawberry feast! 🍓 Indulge in a dinner buffet filled with visually stunning and delicious desserts. Enjoy dishes made with abundant ingredients from Hokkaido, and conclude your experience with a sweet moment of happiness. Take as much as you like of what you love. Enjoy a special night surrounded by the nature of Lake Kussharo. Reservations can be made through the profile URL. 📍Kussharo Prince Hotel https://www.instagram.com/kussharo_ph/...

【Shibazakura Takinoue Park Information for May 6】 Due to strong winds, we regret to inform you that the park will be temporarily closed today. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to those who traveled from afar and were looking forward to enjoying the Shibazakura. While strong winds have caused some fallen trees within the park, we prioritized everyone's safety and have been working on inspections and recovery. Although some traces remain, we have determined that there are no obstacles to entering the park, and we will resume normal operations starting tomorrow, May 7. About 70 years ago, Shibazakura Takinoue Park faced a significant challenge when a typhoon caused the loss of the once-proud "Senbonzakura." However, from that point, the park has a history of rebuilding this landscape, which is among the largest in Japan, from the resilient Shibazakura that blooms close to the ground and just one box of "mikan seedlings." Shibazakura Takinoue Park has overcome several storms in the past. We will turn this recent wind into a "tailwind" to create the next 100 years, welcoming you with even greater passion. Together with the robustly blooming Shibazakura, we sincerely look forward to your visit.
