Fuji Shiji Sakura Festival

Today, I went to the Fujishisakura Festival, which is heavily advertised and promoted locally. The venue is near Honshu Lake, which is almost as far as the Kawaguchiko bus can go. Because it was the weekend, it took two hours to get there by bus without stopping.

The return trip to Kawaguchi is about an hour. I observed that there was no traffic jam on the way back, but it was all mountain road ➕ and there were several traffic lights. I felt that it was still needed for an hour.

The combination of Shibazura, small Lake and Mount Fuji is really beautiful. Shibazura comes in white, pink, purple and hot pink, thick and dense, like a pink carpet. Visitors almost always wow at the first sight.

There are some Internet red photo points in the venue, such as the boat in the sea of flowers, the yellow door is opened to Fuji and so on. Because there were too many people to wait in line, so I just took a look.

The bus takes a long time, but the view is worth it. From Kawaguchiko, the seat on the left can see Mount Fuji in the first half of the ride, and the seat on the right can see Seijin Lake and Fuji Lake up close.

If starting from Kawaguchiko Station, it is recommended to buy a round trip ticket ➕ ticket package at the station. You can eliminate the need to queue at the gate or buy tickets at the station. Figures 9 and 10 are publicity leaflets.

I really wanted to go to Honshu Lake to see the view of Mount Fuji behind 1,000 yen, but I didn't hesitate to give up because I couldn't find any other public transportation line except driving. If you are driving, you can consider going to see it on the way, it may be ten or twenty minutes by car.

Romantic cherry blossom

para para sakura, the national flower of Japan 🌸, usually has only five petals, with only a few appearing with six.

Therefore, the owner compares most Japanese restaurants to tens of thousands of five-petal flowers, and they are the "only color" among them, the unique blooming six-petal flower [Rikka], which focuses on high quality, high decoration and high service.
