【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.

【Shibazakura Takinoue Park Information on May 5】Good morning. This is the Takinoue Town Tourism Association. Due to the snow from last night, the opening was slightly delayed for snow removal, but we are open today as well. The forecast predicts a high of 17°C, warmer than yesterday. 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. On the weekend of the 10th, a photo seminar titled 'Color Expression of Shibazakura' will be held by a professional photographer. Even if you don’t have your own equipment, Nikon will lend you professional gear, so feel free to join us. Children, including elementary and middle school students, are welcome to participate. Family participation is also highly encouraged! We look forward to seeing everyone. ------------------------ 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM (Last entry at 5:00 PM) Admission Fee Adults (high school students and above) / 500 yen Group of 10 or more / 400 yen Children (elementary and middle school students) / 250 yen Group of 10 or more / 200 yen #Hokkaido #Okhotsk #Takinoue Town #Takinoue #Shibazakura #Shibazakura Takinoue Park #ShibazakuraTakinouePark #Photo Seminar #Nikon #Hisao Asano
