SIGHTSEEING SPOTS

The nighttime cherry blossoms at Shintoku Shrine are lit up in time with the blooming of the cherry trees around late April to early May each year. The Ezo-yamazakura cherry trees float fantastically.

Held on the last Sunday of September, visitors can enjoy soba freshly kneaded and prepared using freshly harvested and milled buckwheat. Please enjoy the best soba in Japan, which is the pride of Shintoku.

Held annually around the first Sunday in October, visitors can fully enjoy the autumn flavors of Shintoku, including all-you-can-stuffed produce and grilled meat.

Along Route 38, which connects the Karikachi Pass to downtown Shintoku, there are buckwheat fields, and from mid-July to mid-August, the buckwheat flowers turn the fields white.

The approximately 400 cherry trees, which have endured more than 70 years since they were planted and have become old trees, are still in full bloom in mid-May.
