Shibazakura Festival under Mount Fuji
What to play in Japan in May?
If you have a trip around Tokyo,
I recommend going to see the shibazakura under Mount Fuji.
🌸🌸🌸
Shibazakura is a kind of low-growing herbaceous plant with white and light pink flowers,
which look like cherry blossoms growing on the ground.
The shibazakura festival at Fuji has 500,000 plants of different varieties,
white, pink, and purple form a 'earth' palette.
The colorfully paved natural garden
Echoes with Mount Fuji not far away.
In the garden, you can not only enjoy the flowers,
but also have afternoon tea, coffee shops, and tea houses.
If you like the comic character Peter Rabbit,
you can also stroll in the English garden,
and enter the romantic fairy tale world in a second.
When to go?
The shibazakura festival this year ends on May 28th. It is recommended to check the weather before going, and cloudy days are suggested for a visit in the afternoon.
How to go?
Outside the 'Kawaguchiko' station, at bus stop No. 7, there is a shuttle bus directly to the scenic area (about 1 bus per hour);
At the 'Shinjuku' bus station, you can join a day tour with a direct bus to the scenic area.
How to buy tickets?
At the 'Kawaguchiko' scenic area bus ticket office, you can buy round-trip bus tickets and admission tickets, priced at 2400 yen per person.
What is worth eating?
There are some mobile food stalls at the shibazakura festival site, the most recommended is the Peter Rabbit café, with many theme-limited meals, garden latte, bouquet salad, and bunny ear-shaped ice cream are very cute.
What is worth buying?
The specialty store has many Mount Fuji limited items, including some snacks, pastries, and teas that are exclusive to the shibazakura festival, as well as a lot of Peter Rabbit limited merchandise.
Fujichi Sakura Festival can be bought directly at the Kawaguchiko bus stop, about 30 minutes by car. Every year, many overseas tourists come to watch, and some tourists even come to this "one phase for a while" agreement every year.
Japanese cherry blossoms are usually from March to May, and the cherry blossoms are from mid-April to early June! The cherry blossoms in a vast field like a pink carpet. The most famous place to enjoy the cherry blossoms is the Fujichi cherry festival in Yamanashi, Honshu.
The Zhisakura venue is really beautiful, and the composition of the flowers is wonderful, as if you are in a sea of flowers wonderland. The deepest feeling of this flower-watching trip is that the Japanese are very self-discipline, and even the children are carefully holding the flowers for fear of breaking them. I didn't see the debris of the ground, the flowers are growing carefree...
Fuji Cherry Festival is a must-see place for eating, drinking and having fun at the foot of Fuji Mountain in spring. It can clearly overlook Fuji Mountain. There is also an authentic Fuji Gourmet Carnival held in the venue. The date of 2018 is 4/14-5/27, and the peak of the Fuji Cherry Festival is in mid-May. (Reference website - "https://touch-j.jp/mag/zh-hans/node/1873)"Transportation" There are many scenic spots around Zhiying Festival, but the shortcoming is that public transportation is very inefficient. If you don't spend the night there for two consecutive days, you must go early in the morning + plan the traffic in advance, otherwise you can't play in a few places in a day by bus. (Only when you arrive can you find that some local short-distance buses are drunk once an hour.) We took the tram to "Hekou Lake Station" and booked "Fuji Cherry Sacrifice Tourist Taxi" one day in advance. Referring to the recommended route, we selected five scenic spots "Dashi Park" "Fuji Cherry Sacrifice" "Reagan Field of West Lake" "Post of Road" "Shinchang Fuji Shallow Shrine" and finally disbanded in Fuji Emergency Park, but we didn't have the courage to take the mountain car, so we asked the driver to send us back. Hekou Lake Station. Taxi "Taxi" Zhi Ying Sai Taxi Set can be chosen for different periods of time, the price is N-hour Set Price, when the reservation is locked in the price so play is not panic, if you want to go temporarily on the road, you can always talk to the driver, as long as you do not exceed the Set Time. The taxi was waiting for us when we visited the scenic spots. After playing, we went straight to the next scenic spot. We spent only one day at Mount Fuji and didn't want to waste our time on buses. (Fuji Cherry Sakurai Tourist Taxi: https://touch-j.jp/mag/zh-hans/node/1873) "Datong" Finally, with a tearful smile, "Must book a return bus ticket in advance. Otherwise, by the weekend evening, you will find that all the bus tickets are sold out, and you can only go around the tram for an hour to the distant "Big Moon" before you can take the tram back to Tokyo or Yokohama. And crowded with no seats can only keep smiling and stand back all the way. Local Traffic Recommendation of Zhi Ying Sai Reservation in advance "Zhi Ying Sai Tourist Taxi" Tokyo to and from traffic should remember to book high-speed buses in advance. With these two points in mind, you can go where you want to go.
