Takinoue Park, Japan
From series “Top 13 Most Colorful and Picturesque Places on the Planet”Year: 1956.
On the island Hokkaido in Japan is the beautiful park Takinoue. It is located not far from Asahikava. The tiny pink flowers Schibazakura serve as the main ornament of the magnificent park with the area of 100 sq km. The strange landscape park looks like a giant pink carpet with gorgeous patterns surrounded by green hills. The best florists in the country work on the design of the wonderful park every year. And every year, Takinoue looks unique.
The best way to get to the beautiful park is by the nearby hills. Guests can get down from the hut at any time and walk through the territory of the park. The park was named after the nearby settlement of the same name. The first landscape park was laid out on the hillside in 1956. It must be noted that the founders of the park had then only sown the slope with a box of the Schibazakurasamen. Each year more and more seeds were used until the beautiful pink flowers took the whole hillside.
