Covering Approx. 10 hectares, the park features colorful flowers and a spacious lawn centered around Hanakku, a giant flower clock with a diameter of 18 meters.

The park also has a free footbath where you can enjoy moor hot spring water while taking in views of the flower clock and lawn area, making it an easy way to enjoy an onsen-like experience (usually available from late April to late October). A short walk up the slope from the park leads to the Tokachigaoka Observation Deck, where you can look out over the Tokachi River, the Tokachi Plain, and even the Hidaka Mountains. Around sunset, the changing colors of the sky create beautiful scenery, making it a popular photo spot as well.

    When you visit Tokachigaoka Park near Tokachigawa Onsen in Hokkaido, the winter scenery looks completely different. Centered around the famous flower clock, the park is filled with colorful flowers in summer, but in winter, the entire park is covered in a blanket of pure white snow. Everywhere you look is a silvery-white landscape set against the blue sky and distant woods, so quiet that it feels like stepping into a fairy-tale world.

    The park also has a footbath and observation deck, where you can soak your feet in warm water while enjoying the snowy winter scenery. There are no bustling crowds, only white snow, blue skies, and crisp, cold air, which makes it even easier to appreciate the unique purity and romance of winter in Hokkaido.

    Although there were no blooming flowers during this winter visit, I discovered another kind of Tokachi beauty--the flower clock park covered in white snow, quietly beautiful.
