Spring’s Arrival
Shintoku Town has been getting warmer over the past few days. Walking along the Poppo-no-Michi trail, on the former Karikachi Line, you can already see the white and yellow of the flowers as mizubashō and fukujusō buds begin to open. At Takutetsu Kinokotan (拓鐡キノコタン), visitors can also try collecting birch sap in a hands-on, springtime activity. Around the end of the month, the Ezo-yamazakura, celebrated as Tokachi's finest, will begin to bloom.
