SPOT
Higashimokoto Moss Phlox Park
A magnificent view like a pink velvet carpet
Located about 8km from Higashimokoto city towards Mt. Mokoto, Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park is a hillside that turns a vibrant pink in spring. The best time to see it is from mid-May to early June. When in full bloom, the vast 100,000 square meter slope is beautifully colored, like a velvet carpet. There are also many lively events, such as the Higashimokoto Shibazakura Festival, which is held every year from May 3rd to late May.
In addition, there is a 820-meter go-kart park, log playground equipment, a fishing pond filled with rainbow trout, and a campground complete with unique-looking bungalows, making it a fun spot for the whole family. *Pets are not allowed in the park.
