At Lake Kawaguchi, enjoy seasonal highlights: Oishi Park (Nov 21–Mar 31 & May 26–Oct 25) blooms with lavender or autumn foliage; Cherry Blossom Festival (Apr 1–13, 2025) lines the lakeside with pink blooms; Shibazakura Festival (Apr 14–May 25, 2025) carpets fields in vibrant moss phlox (admission: ¥1,100–1,400; children ¥600–800).
