Yubetsu: Kamiyubetsu Tulip Park
Kamiyubetsu Tulip Park lies on the Yubetsu River plain in northeastern Hokkaido, where wide cultivated ground has shaped the former town of Kamiyubetsu. The park is dedicated to tulips and hosts the annual Kamiyubetsu Tulip Fair, a major local celebration of the flower. Broad planted plots sit beneath low, forested hills, while straight paths organize the grounds around a Dutch-style windmill. Yubetsu municipality extends from these inland farms to the Sea of Okhotsk, whose fishing ports are central to this part of eastern Hokkaido. The park gives the area a distinctive horticultural identity within the wider Okhotsk region.

Yubetsu is best known within Hokkaido for Kamiyubetsu Tulip Park and its annual spring tulip fair. On the Sea of Okhotsk coast, the town lies beside the lower Yubetsu River, where a broad, low shoreline meets northern waters. In winter, drift ice from the Sea of Okhotsk can reach this stretch of coast, while spring brings fields of tulips in many colours to the former Kamiyubetsu area. Present-day Yubetsu was created in 2009 through the merger of the former towns of Yubetsu and Kamiyubetsu, connecting coastal communities with agricultural land inland.
