Each late spring, moss phlox (shibazakura, Phlox subulata) covers the slopes of Higashimokoto in Hokkaido, creating expansive patches of pink, white and magenta flowers.
The display is seasonal and weather-dependent, drawing large numbers of visitors to walkways and observation decks that overlook the flower fields.
