20th May till 26th May

Hi
I was thinking whether is it possible ?
Base at Asahikawa for few days.

Drive from Asahikawa to Monbetsu for Kamiyubetsu Tulip Park 1 day
Takinoue Moss Pink Park 1 day

WOndering how many hours drive required for the above places and whether fleasible? Because I realise I need to change at chitose if I take a domestic flight to Monbetsu

Also wondering whether other places should I venture...during the period

Also think of going to Sapporo for sakura at Odori Park .There is a Sapporo lilac festival from May 19th to May 23rd right ?

Matsumae Koen for sakura (should I drive there ? )There are 2 of us.

Goryokaku Koen for sakura

I should have 6 full days after deducting the flights.

So would mean 2.5 days for Asahikawa , 2 days for Sapporo or others and 2 days for Hakodate ..

Appreciate any other interesting suggestions. This is my 16th time to Japan 6th or 7th to Hokkaido already.

Thanks so much !

no one can help ?

A round trip from Asahikawa to Mombetsu by car takes about 6-7 hours.

Also think of going to Sapporo for sakura at Odori Park .There is a Sapporo lilac festival from May 19th to May 23rd right ?

It is likely too late for cherry blossoms in Sapporo. They are usually in bloom in the first half of May, although it can vary by more than a week. Also some late blooming varieties might still be in bloom, for example around the Moerenuma Park.

Matsumae Koen for sakura (should I drive there ? )There are 2 of us.

Here too, you will be able to see only late blooming varieties during this time of the month.

Goryokaku Koen for sakura

I am afraid it is too late for cherry blossoms in Goryokaku.

Thanks Uji san !

Then any other places to venture besides the tulips that you know of ?

Ohibiro anything interesting in the period I am going ?

Thanks so much!

The points of interest that I can recommend are summarized here:

I have yet to find something interesting in Obihiro. But I have not been looking hard so far.

Uji san..
Which week in May stands a higher chance to see Tulips blooming .. and does this allow me to see some sakura as well ?

Thought of forwarding one week earlier if can see both ..

My focus is Tulips this round.
Thanks so much !

Sorry, I don't know about tulips, but I think they bloom somewhat later than cherry trees.

and does this allow me to see some sakura as well ?

In Hakodate and Sapporo the trees are usually in bloom in the first half of May, but more eastern and northern cities see the blossoms in the second half of May.

mmm then Uji san..
do you know where I can find sakura trees in the eastern side of Hokkaido ?

Kushiro and Nemuro might have blossoms around that time of May.

oh i see. thanks !
