It's Golden Week holiday. The cherry blossoms next to the cottage "Terra'' are in full bloom, making it a very pleasant sunny afternoon.
Passing by the cottage "Terra" where cherry blossoms bloom, there is a hidden spot with a pond in a park. Glacier lilies (Japanese name: Katakuri) are blooming here.
Katakuri takes at least seven years from seed to flower.
In the first year, the above-ground part dies after only producing buds, and in the second to sixth years, it produces only one leaf in the spring and dies. In the seventh year, it finally puts out two leaves and blooms. The pale reddish-purple flowers bloom beautifully as if they have been waiting for spring, letting you know that spring is coming.
Niseko has such a precious natural environment. In spring, you can see this kind of flower scenery in the Izumikyo area.
