The 10 Best Gardens in Hokkaido, Japan
Hokkaido (北海道, Hokkaidō, literally "Northern Sea Circuit") (Japanese: [hokkaꜜidoː] ( listen)), formerly known as Ezo, Yezo, Yeso, or Yesso, is the second largest island of Japan, and the largest and northernmost prefecture. The Tsugaru Strait separates Hokkaido from Honshu. The two islands are connected by the undersea railway Seikan Tunnel. The largest city on Hokkaido is its capital, Sapporo, which is also its only ordinance-designated city. About 43 km north of Hokkaido lies Sakhalin Island, Russia, whereas to its east and north-east are the disputed Kuril Islands.

A must visit when traveling to Hokkaido during Summer where you can witness abundance of vivid colors. Access only by self drive, taxi or tour buses. The farm is beautifully managed and there are many souvenirs to bring back.

Absolutely stunning! This "rainbow field" is definitely our favourite one in the area. The parking fee is waived if you purchase the food at the restaurant on the second floor of the entrance building. Very fair and reasonable. The food was good too. Highly recommended and must visit!

Just an amazing field of flowers with Mt. Yotei in the background. May is the best time to go to see everything in full bloom. The flowers start to fade in color by June. No cost but sometimes parking is hard to find.

This garden is not only beautiful, it’s also a nature preserve and cultural center.

Such a beautiful place!!! You can walk the inner trail or outer trail, or wonder as you please. The only thing not maintained is the rose garden. Everything else was great. They also have an assortment of green houses. We really enjoyed the 2 museums inside as well. It was only 420 yen to enter. If you have time, I’d highly advise taking a stroll here. Tip: they are closed on random days!! Check their website and switch to English. You can see their calendar online.
