The flower fields at Shikisai-no-oka in Hokkaido are now blooming

Take a look at this. The flower fields at Shikisai-no-oka in Hokkaido are now blooming Shikisai-no-oka in Hokkaido during its green season is simply breathtaking.

This panoramic garden has seasonal flowers blooming from April to October, and because of this, you’ll see rows after rows of colorful flowers spanning across the sprawling 15-hectare grounds. There are over 30 kinds of flowers here, including tulips, oriental poppies, lavenders, sunflowers, petunias, and much more. 

You can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the paths through the fields. Or, ride the tractor bus for ¥500 (junior high school students and primary school students ¥300, free for younger children) instead, which takes you on a 15-minute tour through the flower beds.

There’s even a four-person golf cart you can rent for ¥2,200 and drive around the fields for 15 minutes (you’ll need a driving license for this, though).

The best time to visit is from July to September when you’ll see the fields ‘painted’ in vivid red, yellow, purple, white, orange and pink colors.

Don’t worry if you can’t make it up to Hokkaido in time to see the sights; you can still marvel at the beauty of this gallery.

Just remember to put this attraction high on your list on your next trip to Japan.
