Sun Hill Engaru Park
Taiyo no Oka Engaru Park is a vast urban park covering approximately 65 hectares, taking up the entire hill from its top to its base and filled with colorful flowers.
In one corner is the "Cosmos Garden," where 10 million mixed and yellow cosmos flowers bloom from summer to autumn, and from spring to early summer, the International Friendship Forest is filled with Ezoyamazakura, pale pink moss phlox, and azaleas. A variety of flowers can be enjoyed from spring to autumn, and the garden is used as a place of relaxation for many people, including townspeople.
In addition, there is a town-run ranch called Miharashi Ranch within the park, which as the name suggests has a great view, and on a clear day you can see all the way to the Sea of Okhotsk. Enjoy a pleasant time at Taiyo no Oka Engaru Park while feeling the refreshing breeze.
