Why is Fuji Motosuko Resort famous?
Located in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi Prefecture, Fuji Motosuko Resort faces Mount Fuji directly and is a renowned flower viewing destination in Japan. Every spring, the resort hosts the 'Fuji Shibazakura Festival,' where approximately 500,000 moss phlox plants create a vast pink floral carpet, forming a striking color contrast with the snow-capped Mount Fuji. It is one of the largest spring flower events in the Kanto region. The resort also features the Peter Rabbit™ English Garden, where British landscape designer Mark Chapman has planted about 300 varieties of flowers, blending English garden style with the scenery of Mount Fuji. After the moss phlox season ends, the landscape transforms as the 'Rainbow Flower Festival' takes over in summer, allowing visitors to capture the iconic view of Mount Fuji framed by flower fields in different seasons.
What can you experience at the Rainbow Flower Festival?
The Rainbow Flower Festival is held in the spacious grounds of Fuji Motosuko Resort, where approximately 80,000 flowers of 15 different varieties spread out along the foothills of Mount Fuji. One of the main attractions is the zinnia, featuring colors ranging from yellow and red to pink and orange, blooming in patches like a spilled palette. Another highlight is the black-eyed susan, with its bright yellow-orange petals and dark centers, creating a sharp contrast that makes for eye-catching close-up photos. Unlike the uniform pink carpet of the spring moss phlox, the charm here lies in the multi-layered colors, with different flower species blooming in succession, causing the landscape to shift throughout the season. The resort features well-planned walking paths, allowing visitors to step into the flower fields to capture the classic composition of a floral foreground with Mount Fuji in the background. On clear days, the mountain's silhouette is sharp, adding even more impact to your photos. When you get tired, you can take a break at the on-site cafe and souvenir shop, making it easy to plan a relaxed half-day or full-day itinerary.
