    This is a famous cherry blossom spot in Nemuro, famous for being the end of the Cherry Blossom season in Japan. It's located about a ten-minute walk from Nemuro Station, and the grounds are planted with Chishima cherry trees over 150 years old. The Chishima cherry trees were replanted from Kunashiri Island in the early Meiji period, and are also called Etorofu and Kunashiri cherry. They are marked by being much shorter than other cherry tree varieties. The official Full Bloom Announcement for Nemuro, which usually comes in May, is made based on a Chishima cherry tree standard at the former Nemuro Weather Measurement Station. This is the nation's only Chishima cherry tree standard, and many people come from all over Japan to see the spring at the eastern edge of Japan.

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
