Takinoue Town is located in the northern part of Hokkaido.
It lies exactly between Asahikawa City and Mombetsu City, characterized by a rich natural landscape surrounded by mountains on three sides.
Within the town, Mt. Teshio (1,558m), Mt. Shokotsu (1,345m), and Mt. Uenshiri (1,142m) tower majestically, while the clear Shokotsu River runs through the town.
As of January 1, 2024, the population is approximately 2,293.

Since its development, the town has a history centered around the cultivation of mint and forestry.
The climate belongs to the humid continental type, characterized by significant temperature differences.
In winter, temperatures can drop to around -30°C, while summers are pleasant, with moss phlox and herbs blooming beautifully.

As the nickname "Fragrance Village" suggests, the sweet scent of moss phlox, the refreshing aroma of Japanese mint, and the fragrance of timber from forestry envelop the town in each season, creating a region rich in nature that can be enjoyed through all five senses.

【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.

However, the Shibazakura Takinoue Park is covered in snow this morning, hiding the shibazakura flowers. Please be careful on your feet and enjoy this rare scenery. The blooming status is at 50%.

From May 3 to May 5, there will be a sightseeing guide and park tour by the mayor of Takinoue Town, Naohiro Kiyohara, from 10:00 AM! Why not take this opportunity to walk around the park with the mayor?
Additionally, new features such as the 'Tenro Staircase' and 'TAKINOUE Object' have been added, creating even more photogenic scenery at Shibazakura Takinoue Park. We look forward to your visit.

Self introduction

Takinoue Town is located in the northern part of Hokkaido.
It lies exactly between Asahikawa City and Mombetsu City, characterized by a rich natural landscape surrounded by mountains on three sides.
Within the town, Mt. Teshio (1,558m), Mt. Shokotsu (1,345m), and Mt. Uenshiri (1,142m) tower majestically, while the clear Shokotsu River runs through the town.
As of January 1, 2024, the population is approximately 2,293.

Since its development, the town has a history centered around the cultivation of mint and forestry.
The climate belongs to the humid continental type, characterized by significant temperature differences.
In winter, temperatures can drop to around -30°C, while summers are pleasant, with moss phlox and herbs blooming beautifully.

As the nickname "Fragrance Village" suggests, the sweet scent of moss phlox, the refreshing aroma of Japanese mint, and the fragrance of timber from forestry envelop the town in each season, creating a region rich in nature that can be enjoyed through all five senses.
