Yamanakako Flower Park, Japan | Mount Fuji, near Lake Yamanaka, Yamanashi

Yamanakako Hana No Miyako, Japanese Flower Park & Tulip Fields near Mount Fuji

In May 2018 we visited Yamanakako Hana No Miyako Flower Park (sometimes also spelled Yamanakako Hananomiyako, or Yamanakako Hanano Miyako Koen or kouen, or in Japanese 山中湖 花の都公園).

It's a garden park exhibiting gardens and flower fields very close to Mount Fuji so that you get a top photography spot to shoot on a backdrop of Mt Fuji (aka Fujisan) in the background, with a foreground of gorgeous a beautiful multicolored flower field.

The flowers in the field vary at different times of the year, in different months. When we were there in May it was a colorful field of tulips (pink, yellow and purple flowers), but at other times of the year they have a sunflower field, poppy field filled with orange, pink or red poppies, or cosmos flowers.
Tulip: Mid-April to Mid-May
Annual Baby’s-breath: Mid-June to Mid-July
Poppy: Early to Mid-July
Sunflower: Mid to End-August
Cosmos: Late July to early October

You can check out what's in season in the different months on their official website here:
(I recommend using google translate to read it if you don't read Japanese)

Hello again dear, been a while, I absolutely loved this video, to see those gorgeous tulips with Mt Fuji as a backdrop was amazing. Japan is such a beautiful place, when one sees such beauty it is difficult to remember the harsh place the world can sometimes be. Looking forward to more :)
