Kochia in full bloom. The collaboration with Mt. Fuji is a superb view. Next to Oishi Park, there are ❲ Hana Terrace ❳ various shops where you can have lunch while looking at Mt. Fuji. The croissants are crispy and delicious. There are many kinds such as cream, red bean paste, and chocolate. There are also cafes such as Shine Muscat Parfait, so I get lost. I'm also happy that dogs are allowed on the terrace seats.

Japan's No.1 Mt.Fuji as a background, Fuji Shibazakura (moss pink) Festival directs the best scenery in spring. Pink of shibazakura and blue sky make a good contrast. They hold this event from the end of April to May every year. How many times I see this scene, it's always magnificent!

On this day, the interesting clouds dyed orange, and the fog was rising from the lake, which was a perfect morning. Shoji Lake is not so deep, and doesn't agitate the surface, so we can often see the beautiful reflections. What's more, the sun rises from the side of Mt. Fuji, so we can take photos of morning glow. If you go on a camping trip or something, why don't you get up early and enjoy seeing the morning glow and the reflections?

Among European buildings, Lake Kawaguchi and Mt.Fuji become a part of the borderless scenery. Anywhere in the French style garden with flowers and trees beautiful throughout a year is very photogenic! Walking in a rose garden at its peak in June, you can feel like being a Parisienne!◎Open: 9:00-17:30 (entrance till 17:00) Discount coupon is available in official HP.

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.

Fuji Fuketsu (a lava tunnel)' designated as a natural treasure is located in Aokigahara Forest. In the cave, it's always kept 0℃ and has many mysterious icicles. I found many things that I had never knew in the explanation by the local guide! You can bring back the interesting stories.

I was impressed with Mt. Fuji and a whole view of great nature at Motosu Lake. The beautiful blue color of the lake is one of the biggest highlight. If you visit in the good season, you can see Diamond Fuji (Mt. Fuji with the sun located at the top of it) here.
