Local’s Secret Spot!
Late April to Early May
Approximately 800-meter cherry tunnel is hidden in a quiet residential area. The width of the road is narrow here. Hence, you can stroll along the path under cherry trees. Recommend you visit!
Conclusion
The secret spot is not far from Goryokaku Park and JRA Hakodate racecourse [Click Here]. In my experience, I went to the secret place first and then walked to Goryokaku Park or JRA Hakodate racecourse and had lunch there.
If you get more time, there is a famous cherry blossom spot about 2 hours drive from Hakodate-Matsumae Park. [Click Here]
