[Coral Grass Colonies around Lake Saroma] Coral Grass Colony Called Red Carpet

Cape Kimuaneppu Coral Grass Colony

Cape Kimuaneppu Coral Grass Colony (キムアネップ崎アッケシソウ群生地) is near an entrance of Kimuaneppu-saki Campsite. A wooden path with about 110 m in length is built on the colony, and a lookout is set at the end of the wooden path. Various primeval flowers bloom along the wooden path, and it has an atmosphere such as a primeval flower garden. The wooden path is short, so visitors can not look around the whole colony, but they can view the coral grass without getting dirty shoes. The whole lakeshore covered with a red carpet can be enjoyed in a distance. It takes about 20 minutes to see it fully. Admission free. A parking lot is free of charge. A restroom and the parking lot are on the site. Nothing is built around here, but restaurants are built in Hamasaroma (浜佐呂間) that is 6 km away from here.

Coral Grass Colony of Wakka Primeval Flower Garden

Wakka Primeval Flower Garden is in the eastern part of the Lake Saroma. Raitokoro River (ライトコロ川) drains into the Lake Saroma, and Coral Grass Colony grows along the small bay. It takes about 10 minutes from Wakka Nature Center to the Coral Grass Colony on foot. A wooden path is built on the lakeshore, so visitors can observe Coral Grass closely. The Red Coral Grass goes well with the wooden path and the lake. When I visited here in late Octorber, 2018, it was said that fall foliage of the Coral Grass was almost over. I think that the lakeshore covered with red color is worth seeing. Admission free. A parking lot is free of charge. Article of the Wakka Primeval Flower Garden is here

Kerochi Coral Grass Colony

Kerochi Kotsu Park (計呂地交通公園) is in the southern part of the Lake Saroma, and Yubetsu town keeps former Kerochi Station as a park. It has a public restroom, a watering place, a steam locomotive, a park golf ground and the Kerochi Coral Grass Colony, and a staying is available at a house of stationmaster and a passenger car, too. An accommodation charge of the house of the stationmaster is JPY 500, and The accommodation charge of the passenger car is JPY 300. But they do not serve bedding, so cycling travelers and motorcycle travelers often use those. Seafood souvenir shops are built around the park. Admission free. A parking lot is free of charge.

The Kerochi Coral Grass Colony is in the innermost of the park. About 300 m length of a wooden path is built on the marshland. But I could not hardly see Coral Grass when I visited here in late Octorber, 2018.

Coral Grass Colony of Cape Sango

The Cape Sango is in the western part of the Lake Saroma, and its formal name is Tsurunuma Primeval Flower Garden (鶴沼原生花園). Coral Grass Colony grows along an inlet, so here took after another nmae of the Coral Grass (Sango-so * Sango means coral in Japanese). The cape is not touristy, so few people visit here. Drive safe because a road to the Cape Sango is narrow. Admission free. A parking lot is free of charge.

The Coral Grass at the Cape Sango has been designed as a natural monument in Hokkaido. In addition, the only suspension bridge is built in Coral Grass Colony of Hokkaido. Visitors go across the bridge to the Coral Grass Colony. When I visited here in late Octorber, 2018, it was nearly the best time to see the red Coral Grass. The visitors can walk to observe the red Coral Grass on sandy beach closely. But your shoes may get wet on the wet sandy beach, so I guess that you wear rain boots. By the way, views from here are comfortable, too.
