Here are spots where flowers are at their best in March ✨

1. Fukujusō at Hinata Ooka
A natural colony of fukujusō (Adonis ramosa) spreads across about 2,000 square meters on the rolling hills of the Hyūga District in Oooka, Nagano City.
On well-kept slopes, fukujusō bloom proudly with the majestic Northern Alps as a backdrop.
Typical peak season: mid-March


2. Fukujusō at Nanaoekosaka
More than 30,000 fukujusō carpet the steep east-facing slopes.
This dense stand of fukujusō, said to be the finest in northeast Shinshu, is a spectacular sight.
Typical peak season: early to late March
Note: You will walk about 500 meters along a mountain path from the parking area, including uphill sections, so please wear comfortable shoes such as sneakers.


3. Roukaku Plum Garden (Shinshu Shinmachi)
Around 1,000 small ume trees and red-plum varieties are planted here, offering delicate blossoms set against the flowing Saikawa River.
Typical peak season: late March to early April
