Mt. Amari

2 Reviews

Mt. Amari has an easy-hiking path able to command Mt. Fuji. You can see the glittering night view at night, and, if conditions permit, the sea of clouds in the morning. What's more, it becomes a flower field in the sky in June. You can see the wonderful colony of azalea!◎You should basically access by car, and walk 20 min on the easy-hiking path from the parking area. Though Mt. Fuji in the fist pic leaves snows, it's because for the heavy snow that year. There're fewer snows every year in this season. You need to prepare headlight or flashlight because there's no lights at night. In addition, July, the best season of azalea is a rainy season in Japan, you're lucky if it's sunny like this pic.

Mt. 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.

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.

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.

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?

Nishizawa Valley is a famous spot to see autumn colors in Yamanashi. The circumference is 10 kilometers and it takes 3 or 4 hours walk, so you need appropriate outfit! I enjoyed beautiful nature of Nishizawa Valley, and went to the innermost Nanatsugama Five Level Falls. There're many other waterfalls on the way. And, the scenery of autumn colors and falls is breathtakingly beautiful. ◎Best season for autumn colors is from the late October to the early November. The road is bad and up-and-down, so just sneaker is not sufficient.
