Grand Scenery Of Mt. Fuji And Three-Leaved AzaleaMt. Mitsutouge
Mitsutouge Mountain is known as a commanding spot of grand scenery with Mt. Fuji. At the end of May, three-leaved azalea blooms beautifully. If you're lucky, you can sometimes see the sea of clouds in the early morning.◎A climbing route from Tenkachaya side ( Mikasa pass) is easy to walk, and it's 1.5 hours climb to the top. Parking area is available, and also bus from Kawaguchiko Station. For people who want to enjoy mountain climbing, it's nice to start from Mitsutouge Station. By the way, Mt. Fuji in this pic is slightly covered with snow, because it snowed a lot in this year. So there's less snow as usual. The address is Mitsutouge Cottage, and it commands Mt. Fuji and Azalea together.
