After meeting your tour conductor, you will board the coach and head to Hiraoka Park, a beloved local landmark for spring flower viewing. The drive takes about 30–40 minutes depending on city traffic, carrying you from downtown streets into a calm, leafy district known for its expansive ume (plum) grove. In spring, the park fills with white and soft‑pink blossoms, creating long, photogenic lanes and open lawns with fragrant air. Benches and wide paths make it easy to pause for photos or simply enjoy the scene at a slow pace. Plum blossoms typically bloom from late April into early May in the Sapporo area, with precise timing shifting a little each year.

Your coach brings you to Hokuren Kururu no Mori, a favorite spot for travelers who want to taste Hokkaido’s agricultural richness in one relaxed meal. The farm restaurant serves a wide buffet of around 70 items, showcasing fresh vegetables, carefully selected meats, and homestyle dishes prepared to highlight natural flavors. Menus change with availability, so every visit feels seasonal and new. After lunch, you can browse the market area for local produce, dairy, condiments, and sweets, many of which come directly from Hokkaido farms. It’s a perfect way to experience the island’s food culture: unpretentious, fresh, and deeply connected to the land.

Continue by coach to Kuriyama Park, a charming cherry blossom spot where sakura trees create soft canopies over walkways and open lawns. This is a comfortable, small‑town hanami setting: inviting paths, family‑friendly greens, and photogenic clusters of blossoms that feel close and personal. Cherry blossoms in this area generally bloom from late April to early May, though the exact timing depends on each year’s spring temperatures. The park’s layout makes it simple to wander, find a favorite angle for photos, and enjoy a classic “Japan in spring” moment without hurry.
