*If the road to the 5th station is closed the tour will go to Oshino Village instead. The Fuji Shibazakura Festival at Lake Motosu near Mt Fuji is one of the best and most popular locations to see the shibazakura flowers (pink moss or phlox moss in English).
The venue is located just south of Lake Motosuko in the Fuji Five Lakes area, offering breathtaking views of Mt Fuji with the vast Shibazakura flower field in the foreground. The festival is held from mid-April through early June. The best time to see the flowers varies from year to year but usually falls during the first few weeks of May.
Approximately 800,000 stalks of Shibazakura of five varieties are on display, producing delightful fields of pink, white, and purple colors in different hues. Festival stalls selling pots of pink moss, Shibazakura-themed souvenirs, food, and local produce complete the festival. Enjoy a buffet-style lunch with Asian, Western, and Italian dishes at the Fuji Highland Hotel. This tour will take you all the way to the 5th station of Mt. Fuji, via the Subaru Line, so you can enjoy all the beauty of this bold volcano.
