About Takikawa Canola Flower Fields and Takikawa Canola Flower Festival

The Takikawa Canola Flower Festival features canola flower fields spreading across the hills of Takikawa, Hokkaido, and events held to coincide with their spring bloom.

Canola flowers can be seen throughout the city, and their distinctive fragrance drifts through the area during the blooming season.

At the special event venue, visitors can view the fields up close, and local specialties and dishes made with rapeseed oil are also featured.

Festival highlights

Highlights include yellow canola fields covering the hills and, from some locations, views of snow-capped mountain ridges.

The flowers’ distinctive fragrance also drifts through the area during the blooming season.

To prevent problems caused by growing the same crop repeatedly, the fields are moved to a different location each year, so the landscape changes from year to year.

The scenery has also been selected for the “100 Hokkaido Moments to Remember.”
