| In 2018, experience Japan's sakura season in a completely different way! Japan is famous around the world for the dazzling array of cherry blossom trees which burst to life each spring, scattering flower petals across the sidewalks, roads, and hillsides like a blanket of sweet-smelling pink snow. However, far to the north of Toyko there is a rather less famous albeit equally enchanting botanical spectacle to behold: Shibazakura. When this flowering moss grows across acres and acres of rolling hills it creates the most spectacular fields of fuchsia blooms you'll ever see (on this planet, anyway). Shibazakura can be best experienced in the two northernmost prefectures of Japan, Hokkaido and Tohoku. Our May departures of Hokkaido and Tohoku tours are the ideal way to experience Japan's Sakura season in a completely different way, while also allowing travelers to avoid the usual Sakura season crowds. These tours explore the very best of Japan's 'untamed north', taking guests to incredible sites such as: | Aoiike 'The Blue Pond' |  | Just outside the hot spring destination town Shirogane, this incredibly blue man-made lake is sure to dazzle nature-loving visitors with its bewitching appearance. | | Shikisainooka Technicolor patchwork fields |  | Discover 7-hectares of colorful flowers blooming over the rolling fields. Enjoy different types of flowers such as sunflowers, lavenders, cosmos, lupines and other seasonal flowers from spring until fall every year. | Hokkaido Island Spring Tour: Departs May 18th & May 19th
