Let's go see rare "green cherry blossoms"! Recommended spots in Ebetsu, Sapporo and Otaru
What is "Green Cherry Blossom"?

Unlike regular cherry blossoms, the "Mikoro-zakura" is characterized by its green petals. This cherry blossom is characterized by its slow opening, with a strong green color in the early stages of blooming and pink blending in as time goes by. In Ebetsu, they usually start blooming in late April and are at their best by mid-May, but this year's blooming is expected to be earlier.

The photo was taken on May 13, 2023. Some pink flowers can already be seen.

This flower was entirely pink, even though it is the same Mikoro-zakura!

The best place in Ebetsu to see the Mikoe-Yellow Cherry Blossoms is at the Ebetsu Public Health Center in Nopporo, about a 17-minute walk from JR Takasago Station, just after getting off the Chuo Bus at the "Public Health Center-mae" bus stop. Although the cherry trees are located on the grounds, their beauty can be fully enjoyed from the sidewalk.

There are also other places where you can see the Mikoro-zakura in Usu Zenkoji Nature Park in Date City and Noboribetsu Onsen Onsen Hot Spring Resort.
