Yuni Garden in Yuni Town, about an hour's drive from Sapporo, is a nature-rich garden with 15 theme gardens on a vast 14-hectare site. A new area has been created in the garden since August 2021!
The new area is "Kochia Hill" with 32,000 kochia plants, also known as "broom grass. The new area is already gaining a reputation as a pretty place to enjoy the colorful flowers that bloom in Yuni Garden each season.
The photo was taken on September 13, 2021. The green groupings of fluffy flowers make for a lovely sight. A few days later, when they are at their best, they will turn red.

Can you see that the color is quite intense? Furthermore, when the photo was taken on October 5, 2021, the color had changed to a withering shade. The light speckled pattern is also lovely, isn't it?
The cafeteria "Basil" on the first floor of the Center House in Yuni Garden is now offering a new Maritozzo made with rare cheese from Warakudo, inspired by the lovely kochia. It is called "Red and Green Kochia Maritozzo.
Try the other popular soft-serve ice cream made with Yuni Garden's original Hokkaido blueberries! For those who are hungry after a long day of walking and want to eat with more gusto, we recommend the restaurant "Chive" on the second floor of the same center house.
You can enjoy a healthy and healthy lunch buffet featuring spring vegetables from the garden, Yuni Town, and nearby areas. The colorful dishes, which look as if they are full of vegetables, will whet your appetite.

Naturally, however, each plant and flower has a different blooming season. Yuni Garden is a large area, so be sure to check the official website or Facebook page in advance to see when the flowers are in bloom before you go. The "Yunni no Yu" hot spring right next to the garden is also very popular, and many people enjoy the garden and the hot spring as a set.
*The atmosphere of "Yunni-no-yu" is introduced on the TouTube channel "Ho-watto Yumeguri Hokkaido" if you are interested.
