Nijukken Road Cherry Trees

This singular seven-kilometer stretch of road was said to be created as a way for the Emperor’s royal family to observe the pasture that used to be within these precincts. Renowned for the 3,000 cherry trees, particularly the North Japanese hill cherry, stretched in rows along the road, this is one of Hokkaido’s finest spots for cherry blossom viewing, included in Japan’s Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots, in Hokkaido’s Natural Heritage, and in the New Japan’s Top 100 Tree-lined Roads. The Shizunai Cherry Blossom Festival is held during peak season, to the hearty approval of visitors.
