Escape from the vibrant energetic Tokyo towards Mt. Fuji pursuing the most enchanting of pink.
Shibazakura, also known as moss phlox, offers a striking contrast to the soft pastels of cherry blossoms with its vivid, carpet-like blooms. Every April and May, Mt. Fuji Shibazakura Festival transforms the foothills of Mt. Fuji into a breathtaking sea of pink. With more than 500,000 blooms flowering, the landscapes feel like a flowing pink tapestry stretching from the mountains down to your feet. The punching scene calls for visitors from across Japan and beyond, all eager to capture the final essence of spring.
Just beside the festival site lies Lake Motosu, one of the famed Fuji Five Lakes. Probably it is not the most famous, but definitely everyone who is living, is or has travelled to Japan has seen at least once. It is the view of Mt. Fuji behind the 1,000 Yen note. With a visit to Lake Motosu and Shibazakura Festival, your day is concentrated to a refreshing perspective on Mt. Fuji, far beyond the typical day-trip route.
Of course, a splash of culture is never being forgotten. You will have a stop at Oshino Hakkai, a beautifully preserved rural village known for its crystal-clear spring water and traditional houses. Stroll through the peaceful countryside, snap shots of the thatched-roof houses to satisfy your eyes and grab local specialties to fulfill your stomach. Our spring limited Mt. Fuji Shibazakura Day Trip offers a unique way to experience Mt. Fuji short trip – blending vibrant seasonal beauty, tranquil nature, and authentic Japanese culture. Get the chance to discover Mt. Fuji from a new perspective and immerse yourself in one of Japan’s most magical spring landscapes.
