A well-known location in Kutchan Town that signals the approach of late spring is Mr. Mishima's moss phlox garden, which he graciously opened to the public. The ideal time to visit is from late May to early June when approximately 4,000 square meters of Shibazakura or pink moss phlox flowerbeds burst with vibrant colors. Don't miss capturing the stunning view of Mt. Yotei in the background of picturesque field of flowers!

Kyogoku's Fukidashi Park is renowned for its spring water and is surrounded by lush vegetation. The snow and rain from Ezo Fuji (Mt. Yotei) seep underground and eventually spring back up as the "Yotei Fukidashi Spring Water," which is recognized by the Ministry of the Environment as a "Heritage of Hokkaido" and one of Japan's "100 Beautiful Waters." This spring water is created through filtration and the addition of minerals. Here, you can take leisurely strolls along the many trails lined with trees and wooden walkways bordered by stones covered with moss.

Additionally, Kyogoku Onsen is situated in the park's environs. Enjoy the breathtaking view of Mt. Yotei while taking a dip in the outdoor spa.
