A pink world surrounded by moss phlox
Welcome to the 360-degree pink world! Located 50 minutes by car from Abashiri, “Higashimokotoshibazakura Park” has over 100,000 square meters of area covered in pink moss which blooms from the middle of May to the start of June.
This dream-like 360-degree pink world would be a waste to look at from just ground level. Over at the “Yamatsumi Shrine” which has pink-coloured Shinto shrine archway you can use the viewing platform to see a gradation of various pink colours. You should definitely try the “Shibazakura ice cream” which is available for a month when the pink moss is blooming throughout the “Shibazakura Festival” and has a taste that simply screams ‘spring.’ Higashimokotoshibazakura Park

Enjoy cherry-blossom-viewing like the Meiji Imperial Family
Possibly one of the best locations for cherry blossom viewing in Hokkaido - designated as "Top 100 Roads of Japan", "Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots" and a "Hokkaido Heritage", Nijukken Road is a stop on many tourist itineraries which draws over 200,000 Sakura lovers from early-May to mid-May each year.
Nijukken Road, or Twenty-Way Road in Japanese, was originally constructed as a
passageway for the Meiji Imperial Family to inspect the family's ranch in the Hidaka region. Nowadays, the 7km-long straight road is lined with more than 2000 cherry blossom trees. While cherry blossoms are at their most breathtaking, drive through the straight road to soak in the fascinating pink world, or admire the pale petals uplose by cycling through the "Flower Tunnel". You may also visit the Sakuras in full swing when the Shizunai Sakura Festival is held during the same period. That's the only chance when you can explore the interior of the Ryuunkaku, an inn built in 1909 for the Imperial Family, which is usually not open to the public. 📌Nijukken Road Cherry Blossoms (Twenty-way Road Cherry Blossoms)
Address：Shizunai Tahara / Shizunai Misono, Shin-Hidaka-cho, Hidaka-gun, Hokkaido
Access：about 20 minutes by Donan Bus bound for "Noya" from JR Shizunai Station, alight at "Sakura-ga-oka Sho-gakkou" bus stop then walk for about 15 minutes

Kushiro's prideful Top 3 Sunsets in the World
Considered as one of the "Top 3 Sunsets in the World" together with Bali Island and Manila. Kushiro in East Hokkaido is a reputed sunset-viewing location. Walk along the Kita-Odori Street from JR Kushiro Station for about 15 minutes, there you'll come across the 124-meter-long Nusamai-bashi Bridge, which is also known as one of the three most famous bridges of Hokkaido.
Most first-time visitors will be in awe of the beauty of four statues of women "Shiki no Zo" on the guardrails with the setting sun as a canvas, whereas the after-dark hours are no less magical than the sunset times. Finish off your Kushiro night by admiring the light-up event which starts 30 minutes after sunset, sampling the sunset-themed local cocktail "Kushiro Sunset High Ball", or joining the SEA CRANE cruising tour. Either way, these features give you reasons to stay out past sunset. 📌Nusamai Bridge
Address：1 Kita-dori, Kushiro-shi, Hokkaido
Light-up hours：After sunset till 0:00 a.m. everyday
Access：about 15 minutes by walk from JR Kushiro Station

The landmark of Matsumae Town, Matsumae Castle, or Fukuyama Castle, is listed as an Important Cultural Heritage, and one of the Japan's Top 100 Castles and Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots. About 250 varieties and over 10 thousand cherry blossom trees are planted within Matsumae Koen Park framing the castle. With Someiyoshino marking a grand opening of the flower-viewing since late-March, and other late-blooming species closing off the blooming period in the end of May, tourists will be guaranteed a beautiful collaboration by the white-walled old castle and pink petals for almost a month. The 300-year-old Kechimyaku-zakura tree is a must-see!

Get in touch with over 60,000 white-fronted geese
Designated as a Ramsar Convention Wetland, Miyajimanuma is a shallow swamp merely surfacing 30 hectares in Bibai City, Hokkaido, yet the largest temporary stopover site within Japan at which more than 60 thousand white-fronted geese from East Asia gather twice a year, during spring (from mid- to late-Apr.) and autumn (from late-Sep. to early-Oct.). It is a true spectacle when tens of thousands of the migrant bird species take off in unison to reduce the risk of being attacked by predators. Don't leave without taking photos of the "Negura-dachi" in the very morning, or the "Negura-iri" during dusk hours, at which these Natural monuments of Japan create a magical moment with the rising/setting sun in the background. 📌Miyajimanuma (Miyajima Marsh)
Address：Omagari, Nishibibai-cho, Bibai-shi, Hokkaido
Access：about 30 minutes by Nishi-bibai Shimin Bus from JR Bibai Station, alight at Miyajimanuma bus stop then walk for about 15 minutes

The firework displays entertaining nights with temperatures below minus 20°C
Fuyu Hanabi, or Winter Beauty/Fireworks in Japanese, is a fireworks display which viewing spot and launching place are both set to be on the frozen lake Akan.
The one-month nighttime event is returning from 1st February this year. Daytime leisure activities, think snowmobiling, banana boarding and pond-smelt fishing could keep you wildly busy during the day, but visiting after dark is more rewarding - approximately 300 fireworks are launched from 8:10 p.m. each day with an icy sky in sub-zeros weather as the backdrop. Witnessing the fiery hues and mesmerising lights on the frozen lake could be overwhelming and teeth-grittingly cold. If you don't feel confident beating the extreme cold, consider viewing the colorful lights from one of the hotels/inns scattered across the hot spring town.
Note that there's the 300-yen Otanoshimi ticket set that includes Taikan-shomeisho certificate (a stamped postcard proving the temperature of that day), Amazake (a drink made from fermented rice mold), hot milk or Wakasagi Tempura (fresh-water smelt). 📌Lake Akan Ice Festival "Fuyu-hanabi"
Venue：Akanko Onsen, Akan-cho, Kushiro-shi, Hokkaido
Period：1 February 2020 - 2 March 2020
Hours：from 7:30 p.m.（firework displays from 8:10 p.m.）
Access to Lake Akan：about 2 hours by Akan Bus from JR Kushiro Station

Spanning roughly 400km from north to south and 500km from west to east, Hokkaido is an enormous island surrounded in all directions by sea. To conquer the wondrous nature of the northern landscape , a rental car is your way to go.
Hokkaido prides itself on its majestic nature - enjoy the heart-soothing scenery and dynamic nature at the 18-km-long Road to Heaven (Ten ni Tsuduku Michi), the birch tree-lined White Birch Avenue in Tokachi, the panoramic view of Pacific Ocean at Cape Chikyu (Chikyu Misaki) and many more other places. Just be sure to taste the sense of vastness and openness - either by making stopovers at bizarre destinations or planning your own road-trip route.
Here are some gems we've rounded up during a road-trip across Central and Eastern Hokkaido. Let's go through this drone footage once to discover more with your four-wheeled buddy!
