Chikuma, Nagano, Japan｜あんずの里上平展望台 花さか村

April 11th is in full bloom❗️Pale pink and the remaining snow in the Northern Alps are beautiful😆. April 2, 2022. I made a declaration of flowering, but it was still a bud. The best time to see them is this weekend🌸❓ Parking is free here in Hanasaki Village, but temporary parking lots around the area are 500 yen for unlimited time. Street parking is regulated and impossible 🚧. The pamphlet you get at the parking lot comes with a 50 yen discount coupon for Hanasaki Village's Anzu Ice Cream😁🍦.

Purchase the shop's most popular item, "Handmade Apricot Jam". It seems that it is a jam made only with granulated sugar and apricots freshly picked from the company's farm. It's a very beautiful apricot color even though it doesn't use coloring. It's low sugar processing, so it's sweet and sour is also attractive. I also ate apricot soft serve ice cream, but it was not too sweet, it was sour and sweet, and it was delicious with a refreshing taste. By the way, the parking fee is free if you enter by 11:00. Maybe because it was a weekday.

Apricot flowers are so beautiful! Definitely the best in Japan! wonderful! A place you should definitely come to!
