4 Must-Visit Spots for Beautiful Pink Moss Phlox Carpets in Hokkaido: Monthlong 'Floor Sakura' Viewing
While cherry blossoms are a famous spring sight, their blooming period is brief, often ending before many realize. An alternative recommendation for flower viewing is the "Shibazakura" (moss phlox), which can be enjoyed from mid-May to mid-June.

Though each flower is small, when they bloom en masse, they create a carpet-like spread that beautifully colors the landscape. Here are four recommended spots for Shibazakura in Hokkaido (Main image: Photo by Kutchan Tourist Association)
