Rokka no Mori
六花の森
A flower and plant forest created by Rokkatei, where the wild plants from its wrapping paper bloom. Scattered through the woods are small art galleries converted from old farmhouses.
Rokka no Mori is in Nakasatsunai Village. It was built by Rokkatei, a famous Obihiro confectioner, and grows the wild plants of Tokachi that the painter Naoyuki Sakamoto drew for Rokkatei's wrapping paper, including Ezo corydalis, large-flowered trillium, and ichirinso. The season is liveliest from spring to early summer. Along a small stream stand several exhibition halls converted from old Croatian houses that were moved here, displaying Sakamoto's botanical paintings. The garden café serves Rokkatei limited-edition sweets. Admission is about 1,000 yen. It is open from late April to October and is about 40 minutes by car from Obihiro.
