Phlox Park

A rustic and wonderful flower garden built by local Abashiri volunteers

Spread across the hills of Abashiri City Yobito, the "Gyoko no Oka Abashiri Phlox Park" is a simple and lovely handmade flower garden that was painstakingly created by local Abashiri volunteers over a period of approximately eight years. Approximately 150,000 phlox plants bloom in profusion across the vast 10-hectare site (the equivalent of two Tokyo Domes). What originally began as just 1,000 plants now paints a vibrant mosaic of red, pink, white, and purple over the entire hill, creating a "flower garden in the sky" that brightly colors the short summers of eastern Hokkaido.
The flowers begin to bloom in late July and are at their best in mid-August, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful flowers until early September. There is also an observation point within the park, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the phlox flowers as well as Lake Abashiri and the plains towards Memanbetsu.

Points

Recommended points from the person in charge

The view from the observation point is a must-see. You can see the plains stretching from Lake Abashiri to Ozora Town, and enjoy the typical Okhotsk scenery.
