From cherry blossoms to autumn leaves, Lake Kawaguchiko is a popular spot for viewing seasonal flowers and landscape with the magnificent view of Mt Fuji.

Along with the charming lavender, the festival features special events and vendors selling food, drinks and local products. The iconic lavender flavour soft serve ice cream are sold there, too!
