Introduction
Hakko Gakuen Iris Garden is a student-run iris field on the farm of an agricultural school in Sapporo, open for only about two weeks from early to late July — a seasonal spot known mostly to locals. Across two hectares of gentle slope, 450 varieties and some 100,000 Japanese irises are planted row by variety, laying down bands of colour; with no high-rises around, the flowers share the frame with Hokkaido's wide sky. During the season students lead tours and sell seedlings they raised, while the farm's Genghis Khan grill and ice cream draw their own crowd, making this a hidden summer favourite that is also a working classroom.
