[From Chubu/Tokai] Shibazakura/Azalea Tour/Travel 2025

The Fuji Shibazakura Festival began in 2008. The carpet of moss phlox that can be seen while taking in the view of Mt. Fuji is a spectacular sight.
Approximately 500,000 moss phlox plants are planted within the venue, and when they are in full bloom you can enjoy the spectacular sight of a sea of moss phlox.
The contrast of the colorful moss phlox, which comes in not only pink but also white, peach, and pale purple, beautifully colors the entire venue.

Shiba-zakura-no-oka Chichibu The entire lawn, created on the slopes of Hitsujiyama Hill at the foot of Mt. Mukou (1,304 m), the symbol of the city, is literally a "patchwork of flowers. The area extends over approximately 17,600 square meters and boasts more than 400,000 lawn cherry trees of nine varieties, including pink, white, purple, and other colors. Visitors can enjoy taking a good look at the different colors and petal shapes as they stroll around.

Colorful azaleas bloom like a beautiful carpet, filling the entire garden.

The park is home to a number of ancient azalea trees, including the Koto Naishiai Azalea, which is estimated to be 800 years old, as well as the Space Azalea, which was germinated from a seed taken into space by astronaut Chiaki Mukai (a native of Tatebayashi City). Every year, the park is bustling with hundreds of thousands of visitors.

Every May., azaleas bloom all over the mountain from the summit to the southern slope, creating a beautiful, crimson carpet. The mountainside is dyed crimson by azaleas, mainly mountain azaleas, Kobano Mitsuba azaleas, Miyako azaleas, and Mochi azaleas.
