A perfectly straight cherry avenue about 7 km long in Shinhidaka, in the Hidaka region. More than 2,000 cherry trees, mainly Ezo-yamazakura, line the road, and it is known as one of Hokkaido’s signature cherry blossom spots.
Bloom dates shift with each year’s temperatures. Check information from Shinhidaka Town and the Shinhidaka Tourism Association for the latest bloom conditions
Peak times are typical guides. Blooming and full bloom shift with each year’s temperatures.
The avenue was created over three years from 1916 (Taisho 5) by transplanting Ezo-yamazakura and other trees from the nearby mountains, and its name comes from the road being exactly 20 ken (about 36 m) wide. The highlight is the view of Ezo-yamazakura stretching in a straight line, and at peak bloom the “Shizunai Cherry Blossom Festival” is held, with seasonal food and limited-time souvenirs for sale.
