At "Fuji Motosuko Resort" (Fujikawaguchiko Town, Yamanashi Prefecture), the "Fuji Shibazakura Festival", a festival of about 500,000 shibazakura (moss phlox) plants, which is one of the largest in the Kanto region, will finally open on Saturday, April 11th.
The "Fuji Shibazakura Festival" is a spring tradition at the foot of Mount Fuji where you can enjoy the spectacular view of shibazakura and beautiful Mount Fuji with lingering snow. This place, where you can experience the spring-colored carpet spreading out to fill your field of vision and the magnificently towering Mount Fuji in the clear air with your whole body, is truly Japan's "premium seat for spring."
This year, popular photo spots will be renewed with softer colors to complement the shibazakura. In addition, a new photo spot, the "Sparkling Flower Drop Mirror", inspired by the sight of sparkling morning dew, will be added, allowing you to enjoy an immersive feeling as if you yourself have stepped into the scenery throughout the area. At the venue, in addition to standard Mount Fuji local gourmet food, spring-like takeout gourmet food perfect for strolling through the park will also appear, such as Sakura Churros shaped like the character for "cherry blossom" and "Fried Bread Soft Serve" inspired by shibazakura.
During the Fuji Shibazakura Festival, collaborative events will also be held at facilities around the venue. At Highland Resort Hotel & Spa, you can stay in a "Flower Room" with a flower motif for a limited time, enjoy a flower dinner course for dinner, and at the adjacent Fujiyama Onsen, you can experience a flower bath and an aufguss using sakura aroma, enjoying a special day filled with flowers.
At "Fuji Motosuko Resort", the "Peter Rabbit™ English Garden", one of the largest English-style gardens in the Tokyo metropolitan area, will also open on the same day. In addition, at Fuji-Q Highland's "La Ville de Gaspard et Lisa", about a 40-minute drive from the venue, a "Flower Festival" will start on the same day, featuring a "Colorful Garden" woven by snapdragons in 6 colors, making it packed with events where you can feel spring at the foot of Mount Fuji.
Please be sure to pay attention to the spectacular spot at the foot of Mount Fuji, the "Fuji Shibazakura Festival", this spring as well.
