Fuji Shibazakura Festival

The Cherry Blossom Festival is one of my personal favorite Japanese festivals. The Shibazakura Festival at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan is an annual flower viewing event and also the largest cherry blossom sea in Tokyo. From April 15th to May 28th, 2023, about 500,000 cherry blossoms will bloom here, and the white and pink flower sea will be set off against the majestic Mount Fuji, which is extremely beautiful. This is the largest place in Tokyo where moss and liverwort bloom in patches. In addition to the "Fukurokoke" moss garden, there are also various colorful flowers blooming. Various traditional theatrical performances and handicrafts allow you to experience the rich Japanese cultural atmosphere. During the event, in addition to enjoying the flowers, there is also a food festival on site, where you can enjoy various local delicacies. In addition to cherry blossoms, there are also various other flower species on site, forming a real flower sea. Tourists participating in the event can choose light-colored clothing that matches the cherry blossoms for taking photos. When I stand in the cherry blossom sea, surrounded by pink, the endless scenery makes my mind light and my heart joyful, but also makes me intoxicated and unable to return to reality for a long time. From tender pink to fresh oak red, different cherry blossom varieties sway gently in the wind, forming a hazy and graceful watercolor, as beautiful as a painting. It complements the mountains and rivers. The cherry blossoms at the foot of Mount Fuji, set off by the blue sky and white clouds, blend with the distant mountains, and this ingenious natural scenery makes people unable to forget it for a long time. 🚄Transportation guide: It takes about 2 hours by bus or train from Tokyo to reach the Shibazakura Festival.

#2024wish This is a gorgeous festival in the mountains of the Japanese Alps. The sakura flowers are breath-taking and there are many food vendors as well as art vendors all around in which you can support local businesses. I would definitely recommend to check out the weather prior to going because it is a trek! My friends and I were able to see Mt. Fuji on the bus ride to the festival, but the remainder of the trip we could not due to overcast clouds. I think realistically, you can spend 2-3 hours here and see the majority, if not all, of the festival. They do offer a hot foot bath area, hot air balloons and other attractions, so depending on the weather, you may want to stay longer. In 2024, I want to visit this place again.
