Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom at Mount Fuji's Iwamoto Mountain Park - A Hidden Gem! 🌸🏞️

#cherryblossom25 During my stay in Mount Fuji, I first visited Ryugan Falls, which was beautiful, but I stumbled upon an even bigger surprise nearby: Iwamoto Mountain Park (岩本山公園). The moment I entered the park, I was greeted by rows of cherry trees in full bloom! The trees are quite large, and the blossoms were magnificent. 🌸 What makes this park extra special is that it’s free and not crowded at all, mainly frequented by locals who know where the best cherry blossom spots are. This is not a trendy spot for tourists—it's truly a paradise for cherry blossom lovers! While the parks in central Tokyo are packed with people, here, you can enjoy a peaceful walk through a cherry blossom forest, with breathtaking views of Mount Fuji as the backdrop. Every photo feels like a postcard! 📸🏔️ Location: Iwamoto Mountain Park (富士岩本山公园) How to Get There: From Tokyo Station, take the Shinkansen to Shin-Fuji Station. Then, transfer to a local bus heading to the park (multiple buses available daily). Alternatively, I rented a car in Mount Fuji for more flexibility and ease in exploring the area. 🚗 Why You Should Visit: Cherry Blossoms + Mount Fuji: The park is a hidden photographer’s dream, with vast fields of Somei Yoshino cherry trees in bloom. The pink sea of blossoms contrasts beautifully with the distant Mount Fuji. Every shot you take looks like it could be on a postcard! 📷🌸 Fewer Tourists, More Beauty: Compared to the crowded famous spots, this park is peaceful and serene. You can have the entire cherry blossom grove to yourself and truly enjoy the tranquility of the place. 🌿🌄 Tea Gardens Along the Way: On the way to the park, there are scenic tea gardens where you can stop and explore. The views of the tea fields with Mount Fuji in the background are stunning! 🌱🍵 #travel
