Fuji Motosuko Resort (富士本栖湖リゾート) is located about 4 km away from Lake Motosu, one of Fuji Five Lakes (Fujigoko in Japanese) comprising Yamanaka, Kawaguchi, Sai, Shoji and Motosu lakes that are situated at the base of Mt Fuji.
The place is best known for Fuji Shibazakura Festival, one of the most popular flower events in Japan during spring, featuring approx 500,000 pink moss covering the vast fields and displaying an astonishing scenery against the backdrop of Mt Fuji.
Over the past few years, the venue has been hosting a flower event “Rainbow Flower Festival” in late summer, featuring approx 80,000 colourful flowers with the highlight of the collaboration between the flowers and Mt Fuji.
With this year’s theme “feel the autumn a little early”, 15 variety of flowers will decorate the foot of Mt Fuji, including zinnias in a variety of colors such as yellow, red, pink, and orange, and black-eyed Susan, which has a beautiful bright yellow color like a miniature sunflower.
Popular photo spots from the Fuji Shibazakura Festival, such as the Pop-up Picture Book World and the Small Boat Traveling in a Rainbow Sea, will also be available, allowing you to take great photos with the stunning view of Mt Fuji.
