From April to May each year in Fujikawaguchiko in Japan, the Fuji Shibazakura Festival – 富士 芝 桜 まつり – is held. In the middle of May, I made my way from Tokyo to Kawaguchiko to enjoy this beautiful flower event with nearly a million bright pink moss phlox on display.
The festival site is by Lake Motosuko, one of the lakes that combine to create the area known as the Fuji Five Lakes and makes a great day trip if you are looking to include one in your Tokyo itinerary.
In this post, I put together all the information I collected on my visit as well as how to get there so you can enjoy the flower festival and all its beauty in the future.
