In the Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko area, you can enjoy cherry blossom viewing from early to late April. Because the altitude is high and temperatures are lower than on the plains, the blossoming season is later than in the Kofu area of ​​Yamanashi Prefecture or the greater Tokyo area. In addition to Somei Yoshino, the representative variety of cherry blossom, Fujizakura, the prefectural flower of Yamanashi Prefecture, also blooms here. The flowering conditions vary depending on the location, but Fujizakura blooms later than Somei Yoshino, and is usually at its best around late April.
