All Reviews of Fuji Shibazakura Festival

The Fuji Shibazakura Festival, a dreamy event featuring spectacular views of Mt. Fuji and a sea of pink flowers!

Held every spring at Fuji Motosuko Resort, the festival features hundreds of thousands of moss phlox plants of various varieties blooming at the foot of Mt. Fuji, weaving together a striking carpet of pink and purple flowers. The majestic snowcapped peak of Mt. Fuji creates a beautiful contrast with the sprawling flower fields, making every photo look like a postcard. The grounds also offer a variety of food stalls and unique displays, making this an annual romantic event not to be missed when visiting the Mt. Fuji area!

Visited in late April. The view of Mt. Fuji and the moss phlox was even more beautiful than I imagined. I also enjoyed the limited-time Peter Rabbit English garden, shop, and cafe.

Since it’s open for more than a month, I recommend going on a sunny day if your schedule allows.

I originally thought it would just be flower viewing, but it was even more beautiful in person than in the photos. Especially on a sunny day, Mt. Fuji with the shibazakura in full bloom looks absolutely dreamy.

When the weather is clear, seeing Mt. Fuji and the pink moss phlox in the same view is absolutely worth making a special trip for. It’s one of Japan’s iconic spring destinations.

The sea of pink flowers at the Fuji Shibazakura Festival is absolutely dreamy, and with Mt. Fuji in the background, it’s really photogenic. There were quite a lot of people, but the atmosphere was lively and it was definitely worth visiting!
