Nakajima Park Cherry Blossom Hanami (中島公園の桜)

Sapporo · Cherry Blossom · Hokkaido

Nakajima Park, a spacious green retreat in central Sapporo straddling the Toyohira River, is celebrated for its picturesque cherry blossom scenery reflected in the Hasso-an garden pond. The park features a traditional tea house (Hasso-an) and the historic Hoheikan Meiji-era guesthouse, lending cultural depth to the hanami experience. Cherry trees line the main pathways and surround the boating pond, where visitors can rent rowboats during blossom season for a unique on-water flower-viewing perspective. The park's convenient subway access and proximity to Susukino make it a favourite for both daytime and evening hanami gatherings.
