It's one of the city's top cherry blossom spots, with Ezoyamazakura (Ezo mountain cherry trees) blooming around mid-May.

Shiroi Koibito

Everyone in Japan knows Hokkaido’s sweets, “Shiroi Koibito.” Ishiya Co., Ltd.was an ordinary candy maker to begin with, but utilizing quality ingredients in Hokkaido changed them into the producer of the classic dessert. More than 40 years passed since its beginning, but it is still the beloved souvenir of Hokkaido to this day.

A must-visit and must-buy spot when traveling in Hokkaido. They sell a rich and creamy Shiroi Koibito soft serve on site, and it’s fragrant and delicious.
Personally, I like the tin packaging the most since the cookies are less likely to get crushed.

Hoshino Resorts Tomamu - Unkai Terrace

The Hoshino Resorts Tomamu boasts an observation deck where you can marvel at the dynamic sea of clouds up close. It's open exclusively in the early mornings from May to October, when the sea of clouds typically appears. When the meteorological conditions align, a magnificent sea of clouds flows over the mountains, offering truly heavenly views. The deck gives you the sensation of floating amidst the clouds, making you feel as though you're embarking on a voyage across a sea of mist.

The powder snow at Hoshino Resorts Tomamu in Hokkaido is truly famous for being top-notch! That light, fluffy “silk snow” feels so soft that falling over is like landing in a marshmallow. It’s absolutely a paradise for ski lovers.

Gliding and weaving through the powder really tests your core and leg muscles. By the end of the day, you’re totally exhausted, but it’s also incredibly fun and so rewarding! Since you come skiing often, I’m sure you know that smooth, immersive feeling of focusing completely as you ride through a silver-white world and losing yourself in the moment.

The brands here range from major international luxury labels to high-quality Japanese designer brands, so it’s genuinely a great place to browse and shop.

Especially during the Christmas season, Omotesando Hills feels even more romantic.

The wisteria cascades at Ashikaga Flower Park truly deserve their reputation as a “world-class view”! When the century-old giant wisteria are in full bloom, they hang down from the massive trellises like waterfalls. When the breeze blows, you’re surrounded by romantic waves of purple, with a light floral fragrance in the air. It’s such a stunning experience that you completely lose track of time.
It’s definitely a breathtaking sight you should see at least once in your life, but the crowds are a major challenge. Especially during wisteria season, not only is the traffic heavy, but it’s also really hard to find a seat at the restaurants and food stalls inside the park. Even just waiting in line for food can take quite a while.
