Fuji Shibazakura Festival Report
The Fuji Shibazakura Festival will be held at the Fuji-Motosuko Resort in Motosu, Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi Prefecture, to coincide with the best time (from mid-April to late May every year) to view the lawn cherry blossoms.
Here is a report on my visit to the Fuji Shibazakura Festival on May 17, 2024
It takes about 30 minutes from Kawaguchiko Station to Shibazakura Festival site by Shibazakura Liner.
