CONTENTS
Mt. Toma
Mt. Toma (当麻山) is a mountain with an elevation of 292 m in Toma town located in the eastern direction of Asahikawa city, and the distance is about 2.5 km away from the center of the toma. It has Toma Sport Lnad Field Athletics Course (とうまスポーツランド フィールドアスレチックコース), a campsite, Toma Ski Resort, and an observation deck is built on the top of the mountain. a famous place for cherry blossoms called Tomayama Hitome Senbon Zakura (当麻山一目千本桜) is at the Toma Sport Lnad Field Athletics Course and the campsite, and cherry trees also bloom along streets. It is easy to enjoy the cherry blossoms because those are not far away from a parking lot. The best time to see the cherry blossoms is about from late April to early May. Admission free. The parking lot is free of charge, too.

A direct bus does not run between Sapporo or New Chitose Airport and the Toma. But Limited Express Sekihoku-go (特急石北号), an express bus, runs between the Kitami and Asahikawa, and "Kosoku Engaru-go (高速えんがる号)", an express bus, runs between the Sapporo and the Engaru, and those stop at the Toma.
Tomayama Observation Deck
The visitors can not go up the mountain by their cars. So the visitors must go up the mountain on foot. Walks of 544 m in total length is built, and it is not difficult to walk. But the walks have a lot hard steps, and I think that the visitors get tired very much. It took about 30 minutes for me from a trailhead to the obsevation deck on foot. I got tired. But the views were worth seeing. It was very comfortable. Read More

Cherry blossoms begin to bloom from late April in Hokkaido. The cherry blossoms in the Southern Hokkaido including Hakodate begin to bloom from late April, and in case of late blooming, the cherry blossoms in the Eastern Hokkaido and the Northern Hokkaido seem to bloom in early June.

It is one of Hitome Senbon Zakura in Japan, and a lot of the cherry trees has been planted to see a thousand of the cherry trees at first sight. So maybe, the number of the cherry trees is more than 1000. Visitors can appreciate the cherry blossoms while enjoying the camping or the field athletics.
