The Fuji Shibazakura Festival, one of the largest in the metropolitan area, is located near Lake Motosu. Across its 2.4-hectare venue, 800,000 shibazakura (moss phlox) plants create a breathtakingly beautiful scene when combined with the majestic backdrop of Mount Fuji.
The venue features a relaxing "observation foot bath" where you can soak your feet while admiring the stunning views of Mount Fuji and the shibazakura flowers, warming both body and soul. You can also order a cup of coffee and enjoy the panoramic view of the entire shibazakura field with friends from the observation deck.
For just a few weeks each year, the fields around Mount Fuji transform into a magical carpet of pink, white, and purple hues, while the snow-capped peak of Fuji stands majestically in the background. The striking contrast creates a breathtaking spectacle.

## Mount Fuji: The totem of the Japanese soul, the priceless shock that must be seen in this life! **Definitely worth it! **It is far more than a mountain, but also a living totem that carries Japan&#39;s millennium faith and aesthetics**. Whether looking out over its sacred outline or challenging the summit, it is a great way to feel the Japanese spirit deeply. **Core highlights hit the soul:*** **The fast-changing scene:** The four seasons rotate to give it a very different face - spring cherry for skirt, summer green, autumn red leaves, winter snow crown. Under the clear sky, the momentum is magnificent, and the clouds are looming. **Each eye is a unique scenery postcard**. * ** Classic perspective punch card: ** * ** Kawaguchiko reflection: ** The lake is like a mirror, reflecting the perfect &quot;reverse Fuji&quot;, especially when there is no wind in the morning, it is a photography paradise. * **Shincangshan Asakusa Park: **The five-tower is framed with Mount Fuji, interpreting the most classic Japanese aesthetic. * **Goden Field Outlet: **Shopping while enjoying the huge mountain nearby, a wonderful experience. * **Top Challenge (7-9 Moon): **Conquering 3,776 meters on foot, meeting the &quot;Yulai Light&quot; (Sunrise) in the crater, and feeling the ultimate experience of conquest and sacred fusion (need to be fully prepared). * **Cultural Immersion: ** Hawthorn Shrine, Ninno Bahai Lingquan, and Fuji Theme Art Museum ... Infiltrate their awe and worship everywhere. **Tips: *** **Weather determines everything! ** Be sure to check the visibility forecast before traveling, and it may be completely &quot;invisible&quot; on rainy days. * Recommended for a distant view**Kawaguchiko/Mountain Lake area**, convenient transportation and diverse perspectives. * Climbing requires professional equipment, make an appointment in advance for mountain houses, and do your best. **Summary: ** The beauty of Mount Fuji transcends the vision, which is the resonance of nature and culture. Its sacred sense and magnificent beauty, no matter how close you look, it will become a scenery engraved into memory. If the heavens are beautiful, be sure to include it in the itinerary - not only to see a mountain, but also to touch the window of the Japanese soul. 🗻✨

We only realized it was a Mt. Fuji observation deck after getting on the cable car. From the summit, you can take photos of Mt. Fuji and even swing on the swings (500 yen per swing), which was quite pleasant. Luckily, the day we climbed Mt. Fuji was sunny, and the view of the mountain was beautiful.

A park near Lake Kawaguchi, it is very beautiful. If the weather is good, you can see the whole view of Mount Fuji. Unfortunately, there were too many clouds on the day we arrived, which covered the top of Mount Fuji. There are also white swans by the lake, you can take a photo with them. Various flowers are also planted by the lake. There are flowers everywhere all year round. Many of the names are heard for the first time. It is nice to walk around.
