Hokkaido
Volcanoes, powder snow and fresh seafood
9.3
Japan's June and July rainy season usually skips Hokkaido, so summer is flower season there. Cooler weather suits lavender and other field crops. The island covers about 32,200 square miles and has just under 5 million people. Snow arrives in earnest in November, so plan blooms between early summer and early autumn.
Highlights:
  • 🚀 Explore historic Otaru Canal and its shops
  • πŸ‚ Ski or snowboard in world-famous Niseko resorts
  • πŸ’§ Visit the spectacular Shirogane Blue Pond
Hitachi Seaside Park

A wash of sky blue spreads across the hills when nemophila blooms in spring. About 4.5 million of the small flowers cover the slopes. In autumn round kochia bushes change color. The park opened in 1991 on land once used by US forces as a firing and bombing training field.
Highlights:
  • 🌾 See the hills turn bright red with kochia in autumn
  • πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈ Rent a bicycle and ride coastal paths
  • 🌸 Explore blooming nemophila fields at sunrise
Ashikaga Flower Park
Giant wisteria trellis and winter light show
