Twenty ken road cherry blossom tree-lined street

Gazing at the profusely blooming cherry blossom petals, enjoy the arrival of spring. Japan's number one cherry blossom avenue "Nijukken Road Cherry Blossom Avenue". Spending a period of 3 years from Taisho 5 (1916), Ezoyamazakura and others were transplanted from nearby mountains. At that time, because the road width on the left and right was exactly twenty ken (approx. 36 meters), it came to be called Nijukken Road.

Nijukken Road, where over 2,000 cherry trees bloom proudly extending over a straight line of 7 kilometers. It is said that the beginning was when cherry trees were planted as an Imperial visit road for Imperial Family members to inspect the Imperial Stock Farm that once existed in this place.

Currently, it has been selected for "Japan's Top 100 Roads," "Top 100 Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots," "Hokkaido Heritage," and others, and is loved by many people as one of Japan's foremost famous cherry blossom spots, and every year in early May, cherry blossom viewers visit from various places nationwide in order to catch a glimpse of Japan's number one cherry blossom avenue, which blooms gorgeously in full glory.
