This morning's Prunus sargentii（Ezo cherry trees）. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom last weekend. It was sunny in Hokkaido The yellow sand was terrible and it was the worst. It's finally beautiful today I could see the blue sky. In the city, the cherry blossoms have exceeded their peak It has already begun to disperse.

Signs of spring in Miyanomori A friend called me, so I wandered behind the shrine. At my feet, small blue flowers were blooming. Ezo-engosaku (erythronium-like spring flower) They say they also bloom around Kōrakuen. Climbing the steep slope of the ski area you find white Kita-kobushi blossoms in full bloom. At eye level I found buds that hadn’t opened yet. A fuzzy, downy flower bud had fallen to the ground. When I put it in my palm, it felt somehow cute. When the Kita-kobushi blooms, cherry blossoms are said to begin opening before long. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Four seasons #Miyanomori #Kita-kobushi #Ezo-engosaku

A friend asked me to help collect sap water a bit late in the season. We joked, “Maybe it won’t flow anymore,” but of the two trees, one yielded about 500 ml in an hour. The other gave around 100 ml. I also tried the white birch hammock I’d been curious about for a while. The feedback I got was: “It’s incredibly comfortable!” 👍✨ Would you like to try it too? If there’s enough interest, I’ll consider offering it as a summer experience. #Hokkaido #Tokachi #Shintoku Town #Shintoku Town Tourism Association #Karikachi Highlands #Karikachi Kogen Park #Route 38 #Hokkaido Garden Path #white birch #white birch sap water #white birch sap water collection experience #hammock #summer event

Goryokaku Tower and cherry blossoms 🌸 in Hakodate One of my favorites 📷 When the weather is good, you can ☀️ take really beautiful pictures My favorite 🩷 cherry blossom spot in Hokkaido is Goryokaku There are a lot of cherry blossoms blooming in Goryokaku, so you can capture various beautiful landscapes depending on the photographer and the angle from which you take 🥹 the picture

The illumination starts tomorrow! It’s a bit chilly today, but the cherry blossoms have begun to open and are about 20% in bloom. The cool weather is likely to continue through tomorrow, but clear skies above 20°C are forecast from Friday. By this weekend, some 2,300 Ezo-yamazakura cherry trees are expected to burst into bloom all at once. Also, the roughly 40 forsythia shrubs planted at the Shintoku-yama trailhead are in full yellow bloom, so enjoy spring under the cherry blossoms and forsythia both day and night this weekend.

I accompanied her on a herring fishing trip. "I want to support the beaches of all provinces!" radio personality and Yoko Totsui also came to town urgently, and they thoroughly enjoyed the herring fishing in Omu Town, Okhotsk. The size of the herring, which is in season now, varies depending on the net you set. The Kichimaru embarkation used a large net, so a lot of thick and large fish were caught. The herring fishery is settling down, but it is lined up in stores here and there in the town. I would like you to try the herring from Yubu that is satisfying to eat.

A deep-sea fish that is pink and plump like jelly. It is "Salmon snailfish". IN NOBORIBETSU, WHERE NOBORIBETSU MARINE PARK NIXE IS LOCATED, IT IS ONE OF THE FAMOUS FISH! It comes into a net that catches shrimp called shrimp basket fishing. Pink and beautiful round eyes... Don't you feel like you're being sucked in when you stare at it?

Jump from the water!! We captured the moment when the gentoo penguins jumped out of the water.

We took a walk to Tsukisamu Park in Sapporo. Are the cherry blossoms about to bloom?　It was about that. There was a pile of what looked like an old lawn. Because there are people who manage the park, I thought I was enjoying it in this way. I'm grateful for that.

[Spring Window Art in Kam] On Saturday, April 13, Roadside Station Kam hosted an event to paint pictures on windows! This time we commissioned a professional artist to create coloring spaces on some of the windows. First, we visited the Flower Park before it opened and observed the crocuses just beginning to bloom and the trails mice likely left after tunneling through the snow. It was heartwarming to see children walking in a line along the stones that border the flower area. The event was themed “Flowers and Animals,” so I was glad we could look at the flowers that are actually blooming as the snow melted before we started drawing. As the windows filled with color, Roadside Station Kam seemed to brim with spring cheer. It was a short one-hour event, but thank you to everyone who participated! The artwork will be on display until mid-May. A Kam Marche is also scheduled from Friday, May 3 through Sunday, May 5. Please stop by Roadside Station Kam! #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Window Art #Painting #Drawn on windows #Crayons #Coloring #Flower Park #Kam #Roadside Station #Marche from Friday, May 3 to Sunday, May 5
