The Lake Kawaguchi Herb Festival Has Ended

The Lake Kawaguchi Herb Festival, which colored the lakeshore in early summer, concluded its event-style operation after the 2025 season. No future festival with a fixed event period is planned.

Lavender and other flowers can still be viewed at Oishi Park and Yagizaki Park. Visitors who previously traveled for the festival can use the live camera before sightseeing, photographing Mount Fuji, or walking by the lake.

Check Lavender and Mount Fuji at Oishi Park

Oishi Park is a popular place to see Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi together from the north shore. During lavender season, the combination of purple flowers, the lake, and Mount Fuji is the main attraction.

The camera shows current skies, visibility toward Mount Fuji, and the atmosphere along the lake. Mount Fuji is often hidden by clouds, so check the live image before traveling for photography or sightseeing.

Lavender Season and What to Check

Lavender around Lake Kawaguchi often reaches its best appearance from late June to mid-July. Flowering changes with weather and temperature, so check the camera and current local information before visiting.

In addition to the lavender color, the camera can show cloud cover over Mount Fuji, local weather, strength of sunlight, and the atmosphere during busier periods. On clear days, visitors may enjoy the classic view of Mount Fuji beyond the lavender.

Crowds and Parking Around Oishi Park

Oishi Park can be busy during lavender season, on weekends, and in fine weather. Because it is popular for photographs combining Lake Kawaguchi and Mount Fuji, parking and nearby roads may fill from the morning.

Fujikawaguchiko Town asks large buses and similar vehicles to use the temporary Oishi Park parking area for passenger boarding and disembarking to reduce congestion. Visitors in ordinary cars should allow extra time and follow local signs and staff guidance.
