Hokuto Cherry Blossom Corridor
Illuminated Cherry Blossoms Light Up the Night
There are many places famous for cherry blossoms in Hokuto City, where Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station is located, which became the new land gateway to Hokkaido with the opening of the Hokkaido Shinkansen bullet train. This event is an opportunity to see three of the most popular spots illuminated to make them even more beautiful. The weeping cherry tree at Hokkameji Temple near Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station is estimated to be 300 years old and 12 meters tall, while someiyoshino cherry trees stretching 300 meters along the Ono River can be enjoyed within a 5-minute walk. A further 5-minute drive will take you to the ruins of the Togirichi camp of the Matsumae domain, where an 800-meter cherry blossom tunnel leading from Road 96 to the main gate covers the sky, and the night view through the lit-up sky is also spectacular. The night view through the lit-up sky is spectacular! Please check the website.
