Last updated on September 14th, 2024

Visit Shibazakura blossom park for pink moss phloxes is a must if you are visiting Hokkaido around the end of May. Read on how to plan your day trip to Shibazakura Takinoue Park with public transport.

No doubt, Japan love flower so much. Japan is filled with multiple flower season through the year, from spring to summer. In Hokkaido, there is a time-limited flower blossom event that spread over the hill like a pink carpet. The flower is known as “Moss Phlox”, become the next main event after the famous cherry blossom in Japan is over.

From mid to end of May, many visitors are coming to see the gorgeous flower park, filled with vibrant pink Shibazakura covered the whole hillside. It is one of the must-visit if you are visiting Hokkaido in the right timing.

This spectacular flower field is one of the must-do for me after my cherry blossom trip in Kansai two years ago. The dazzling beauty of sakura blossom is one of the most memorable trips for me. I wish to mesmerized again by the beauty of nature with Shibazakura, one of the popular spring flower in Japan.

Best Time For Shibazakura Blossom

In general, the shape of shibazakura looks pretty similar to sakura. Shibazakura has 5 petals and occasionally 4 or 6 petals. Some say you will have good luck if you see the 4 petals pink moss phlox flower.

Compare with cherry blossom, shibazakura is slightly better with longer lifespan. The blossom time is about few weeks, started in May. So, you are allowed to see these violet/pink/white flowers for a month.

The perfect timing is the end of May for the truly amazing sights for this pink, purple, white flower fully blossom, covering the whole hillside. Their official website will give daily updates starting May on the blossom status so that you can estimate your visit.

Shibazakura Park in Hokkaido

There are two famous places in Hokkaido with the amazing shibazakura field: Higashimokoto Park in Ozora and Takinoue Park in Takinoue town. Both are paradise for this pink moss phlox and celebrates the beautiful flowers with shibazakura Festival in spring. Unfortunately, limited public transport is available to reach both of the shibazakura park. Self-driving is the best transportation if you wish to mesmerized the pink moss phlox.

Shibazakura Higashimokoto Park is the most beautiful shibazakura park in Hokkaido. Lies at the foot of Mt. Mokoto, Higashimokoto Park planted with shibazakura with about 100,000 square meters.
The only concern is that Higashimokoto Park is further away, which located in eastern Hokkaido. From Sapporo, it required at least 6 hours of driving or 5.30 hours of express JR train to the closest town, Abashiri. It is best to stay one night in Abashiri and proceed to Higashimokoto Park at the next day. The entrance fee costs 500 yen.

My Visit To Takinoue Park

My Hokkaido trip was planned a year ago. The travel time is around the end of May and looking forward to visiting the Shibazakura in Hokkaido. Hopefully, my travel time is the best timing to see the impressive landscape view with pink Moss Phlox.

After consideration, we decided to visit Takinoeu Park instead of Higashimokoto Park due to the distance and ease of itinerary planning. Most importantly, there is public transport by the Tohoku bus from Asahikawa during the Shibazakura season. The actual visit to Takinoue Park during the third weekend of May. The timing was so perfect as the blossom was well on the way with festivals were scheduled.

I even have the backup plan if the bus ticket has been sold out. Luckily everything is so smooth as per planned.

Take note: Seat reservation required. Please make sure you booked the seat at least one day before.

Shibazakura Soft Ice Cream

The limited-edition soft serve ice cream inspire from Shibazakura was sold at the park. The cherry flavor and light pink color enhance the feeling of spring. One of the must-try if you are visiting shibazakura park.

Two hours was just nice for us to enjoy the beauty of the flower. But we wish to stay longer to mesmerized the beauty of shibazakura. Unfortunately, we had to catch my bus back to Asahikawa from the same bus stop at Takinoue town as per scheduled.

Overall: Day Trip To Takinoue Park For Shibazakura Blossom

It is worthwhile to visit the shibazakura park if you are traveling to Hokkaido during May/June time. It is the best timing for such a beautiful scene.

Even though many visitors to Hokkaido don’t know much of its spring beauty, in my opinion, it is arguably beautiful and worth a visit. The view is so breathtaking and magnificent. Absolutely must go when visiting Hokkaido in May.

Thousands of hotels or holiday home available in Jeju Island. Finding the perfect stay is one of the head-ache questions to most of the travelers. Depend on your preference, some travelers will look for accommodation with public transport accessible, closer to the Jeju must-visit attraction, or perfect gateway with a luxury stay in a 5-star hotel.

We decided to look for a hotel or pension with sea view, closer to the ocean as much as possible yet still within our budget. Thanks to the effort, we found Jeju Aurum, a true hidden gem with lava rock beachfront pension in Seogwipo.

Follow us on below article for our Jeju Aurum hotel review. And you will know why we love Jeju Aurum so much. It is the best accommodation to stay during our 6 day road trip in Jeju.

How To Get To Jeju Aurum

Located nearby Seogwipo city with less than 5 minutes’ drive, Jeju Aurum is one of the popular choices for holiday homestay in Jeju Island. It required 70 minutes of driving journey if you choose to come directly from Jeju Airport.

Newly renovated at 2017, Jeju Aurum is hosted by Mr. Kim and his lovely wife. Together they running the holiday home and lovely cafe at the premise.

We booked for a double room in Jeju Aurum during our second day while exploring the southern coast of Jeju Island. After visited some of the must-go in Seogwipo, we decided to go to Jeju Aurum for resting during the evening.

Follow the GPS, we drove from busy street into the narrow curvy road through a neighborhood to reach the pension.

Address: 24, Bomok-ro 64beon-gil, Seogwipo, Jeju Island 63599, South Korea

Oceanfront Holiday Home Surrounded with Palm Tree

Once we reached Jeju Aurum, we immediately fall in love with this cozy pension. This property is surrounded by palm trees with beautiful ocean just in front, divided by a road. Mr. Kim welcomed us with the most warm welcome and introduced us with good English about him and his lovely pension.

Firstly, the check-in process is smooth and easy. Mr. Kim preferred for cash and it is not an issue for us. He promised that we won’t disappointed for our room, with the most beautiful sea view.

There are a few blocks of building in Jeju Aurum. Our room is on the second floor nearby cafe with no lift available. So we need to carry our luggage to our room.

The double room is smaller than expected with a queen size bed in the middle. It comes with overlooking balcony with large glass doors, gave an unobstructed view of the ocean. The beds were very cozy and the linens were clean.

While the bathroom is huge with a small bath towel provided. Bring along your toiletries as it is common that not provided for Korean style pension. However, no kettle in the room but you can take drinking water at the common kitchen downstairs with water dispenser provided. The kitchen is ready if you want to heat up or cook for your meal.

Overall we are satisfied with the room especially for the fantastic coastal view across from the balcony.

Olle Trail Route 6

After that, we can’t wait to go for a short walk at the Olle trail 6, the most beautiful walking trail in Jeju Island. Jeju Aurum is located in the middle of Olle trail 6, and we choose to stroll along the sea follow the coastal road.

Waves splashing with freezing sea wind. The location is perfect for a leisure and relaxed stay.

Amazing Sunrise and Sunset View

Sun set at viewing platform at Olle trail 6

There is a nice café with a viewing platform at the end of the route. We climbed up to the viewing platform to enjoy the amazing sunset. The view is breath-taking! After the evening walk, we drove to a restaurant nearby for dinner.

At the next day, we wake up in the early morning for the amazing sunrise view at the lava rock beach in front of the Jeju Aurum. So incredible! There is nothing better than this.

Breakfast at Jeju Aurum

We paid for ₩3000 for breakfast at the café. It is a simple and healthy breakfast with toast, cake, salad, fruits, orange juice, and milk available.

During checkout, Mr. Kim even ask for any help or advice needed for traveling next. We are appreciated for the offer and he treats his guest with a warming heart. One night stay in Jeju Aurum is too short and I definitely will come back for a longer stay if visiting Jeju Island again.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Above all with photo attached. In short, friendly host, fantastic sea view in front of the ocean, value for money.

Cons: Possible due to the seafront location, there are lots of flies or mosquito flying around. So remember to close your door and mosquito nets. The location can be difficult to reach via public transport with bus stop is located 5-10 minutes away from Jeju Aurum. So it’s better to rent a car or call for a taxi. If you need help to look for a rental car, remember to compare at RentalCars from Booking.com for the best price guarantee. We rented our car from AJ Rent-a-Car through RentalCars for 6 days road trip in Jeju.

Overall: Jeju Aurum Hotel Review

Jeju Aurum is well worth for the nature, sea view with reasonable price. We stayed at four different hotels when visited Jeju. So far Jeju Aurum is the most favorite hotel during our Jeju road trip.

It was exactly what it stated, in front ocean with amazing sea view. You can meet the spool of dolphins if you are lucky. Of course, there is room for improvement but bear in mind this is a pension. You can go for a 5-star hotel if you look for professional service.

All in all, with the price offer featuring with fantastic ocean view, Jeju Aurum is one of the best accommodation stay in Jeju Island. Limited rooms so please book as earlier as possible. Check the price and rooms available at here. (Check room availability)

However, you can’t get around Jeju within one day even by self-driving. Most of the attractions are far apart and this is very important to decide where you stay. Great accommodation will bring an unforgettable memory to your Jeju trip.

Where To Stay in Jeju Island?

If you are only planning for a short visit of one or two days, we advise staying at the same hotel for your Jeju trip. For more than two days, consider staying at different places around the Island to save on traveling time.

The two big cities on Jeju Island, Jeju City, and Seogwipo provide the best accommodation. Stay at a modern and stylish hotel, especially in a city with professional service staff.
