Tour Overview
Held at the same venue as the spring Shibazakura Festival (Fuji Motosuko Resort), the Rainbow Flower Festival takes place in late summer to autumn. The vast fields are planted with approximately 90,000 colorful flowers, including Zinnias, Rudbeckia, and Salvia, creating a stunning rainbow-like carpet.
This is one of the best locations to photograph Mount Fuji with a foreground of colorful blooms. The tour also includes visits to other natural wonders around the Fuji Five Lakes area, such as the Narusawa Ice Cave and Lake Saiko.
