What is Rokkanomori?
Rokkanomori is a 10-hectare garden created by Rokkatei to bring the flowers on its wrapping paper to life. Facing the Hidaka Mountains, it is home to over 200 species of wildflowers, including the “Tokachi Rokuka” like katakuri, Ezo gentian, and Rugosa rose. Scattered throughout are a relocated Croatian farmhouse gallery and a memorial museum dedicated to artist Naoyuki Sakamoto.
