Experience a picturesque view! The miraculous moment when Mt. Fuji and cherry blossoms intertwine

Capture this once-in-a-lifetime view on your camera

In 2023, Japanese accommodation booking site Jalan announced that Ryugabuchi in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, was ranked number one in the nation for its "Beautiful Cherry Blossom Views Like a Painting" ranking! With the arrival of spring, the cherry blossom scenery that spreads across this beautiful place is truly breathtaking, like a painting. Please enjoy the moment when the cherry blossoms blooming along the river shine fantastically with Mt. Fuji in the background.

When is the best cherry blossom season?

The best time to see the cherry blossoms is from late March to early April every year. On clear days, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms while looking out at Mt. Fuji, which is a truly spectacular sight. The cherry blossoms only bloom for a short period of time, and the scenery changes depending on the weather and the appearance of Mt. Fuji, but the excitement of witnessing this precious moment is exceptional. If you're lucky, you'll be able to capture a fantastical landscape on camera, as if you've wandered into a painting.
