The view when the cherry trees are in full bloom.
Hello everyone. This is the Hokkaido Communications Department. Today I would like to introduce "Noboribetsu Cherry Blossom Lined Trees" in Noboribetsu Onsen, one of the best hot spring resorts in Japan. When the cherry blossom season comes to an end in Honshu, the cherry blossom season comes to Hokkaido as well.

The Noboribetsu Cherry Blossom Lined Trees, commonly known as the "Flower Tunnel," is an 8-km road along Route 2 heading from JR Noboribetsu Station to Noboribetsu Onsen. You can enjoy the road from the car window, but we recommend that you stop your car at the "Sakurazaka Parking Park" along the road and take your time to appreciate the cherry blossoms.

What kind of cherry tree is the Ezo Yamazakura?

The Ezo Yamazakura cherry trees blend in with the spring scenery.
The surrounding greenery is also turning into spring color.
The Ezo-Yamazakura cherry blossoms are characterized by the fact that they open along with the leaves. It is characterized by its dark peach-colored petals and reddish leaves. This cherry tree is resistant to cold and can be enjoyed for a long period of time. In Hokkaido, some locations have adopted it as a sample tree for cherry blossom declaration. Its standard Japanese name is Oyama-zakura, and it is also called Beniyamazakura because of its larger flowers and darker peach-colored petals compared to the yamazakura. As a wild species, each Ezo yamazakura has its own unique character and comes in a variety of shades.
