Check it out! The cherry blossoms at Mount Fuji have just started to bloom | Mount Fuji Cherry Blossom Viewing Guide

| Mount Fuji Cherry Blossom Viewing Guide. The cherry blossoms in Japan's Kanto region (Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kamakura, etc.) are blooming much later than last year. It was originally expected to bloom at the end of March, but it wasn't until the beginning of April, and Mount Fuji won't be in full bloom until the 15th. 🌸This is a cherry blossom update plus guide for April 12th. ⛩️As of April 12th at the Fuji Sengen Shrine The cherry blossoms are less than 50% bloomed Expected full bloom date: April 14th, the 13th to 15th should be very good dates for cherry blossom viewing, but it will probably be very crowded, so you might want to consider coming on a Monday or Tuesday. 🚌Kawaguchiko Line Blooming: Our first stop is near the Ubuya inn at Lake Kawaguchi, where you can see a few beautiful trees right after getting off, although there are not many trees, they are all facing Mount Fuji. Then walking along Lake Kawaguchi, there are also many roadside cherry trees for photo opportunities. 🚏Next is near the Monkey Show Theater stop, take the Kawaguchiko bus there, and after getting off, you can go directly into the small park by the lake, which has many cherry trees, but it's also very crowded, even when the cherry blossoms are only 50% bloomed. 🚄 Transportation Guide It's better to go to Mount Fuji from Shinjuku, where you can buy a bus ticket for about 2000 yen to get to Kawaguchiko Station. For first-timers going to Mount Fuji, head to Kawaguchiko Station, where there is a tourist center. Then you can continue to take the bus to cherry blossom viewing spots like Lake Kawaguchiko/Sengen Shrine/Monkey Show Theater. ⏰Suggested time to go: Depart before 10 a.m., a day trip is just right, and you can return at about 5-6 p.m. After dark at Mount Fuji, restaurants generally close, and buses end earlier, so it's better to come earlier.
