Moss pink, or shibazakura, is a plant that develops near to the floor in amazing shades of green, pink, and white-colored. The year for moss pink, which is from delayed Apr to mid-May, comes after the more well-known cherry and peach blossom season in Japan. A popular way have fun with moss pink is to go to a pink moss event or park and see the various styles made by organizing the moss pink by shade. One of the best locations have fun with the flourishing of moss pink is at Hitsujiyama Recreation area near to the town of Chichibu, in Saitama Prefecture.
About 400,000 Shibazakura vegetation of eight types blossom from Apr to May on the hill of the Hitsujiyama Mountain at the feet of Chichibu’s symbolic M. Buko, developing an stylish rug of pink, purple and white-colored. Twisting routes lead you across the unique pink and purple hillside looking over the town. The rear of the Daisetsuzan Mountain Range offers its sharp snow-covered mountains as a background and tulips adorn the wide gently-sloped routes on your trip across the hill. Aside from Shibazakura, roughly 1,000 cherry trees, such as yoshino cherry, crying and moping cherry, and double-petal cherry vegetation, placed in the park, plant out in Apr.
