Enjoy the beauty of Shibazakura at the foot of Mount Fuji. Maybe we've often heard the name of cherry blossoms. But has anyone heard of Shibazakura? Shibazakura is a kind of flowering shrub that is concentrated pink. This flower is actually named "Hanatsume Kusa" or the Latin language Phlox subulata, but because this flower has 5 flower petals and a pink color so that eventually leboih is known as Shibazakura or if translated into Indonesian is "Sakura Grass".
Shibazakura flowers grow in spring, usually starting to bloom from April to May. The charm of Mount Fuji is indeed never exhausted. Especially if coupled with the vast expanse of flowering Shibazakura. Every year in the Yamanashi prefecture, precisely at Fuji Motosuko Resort, the city of Fuji-kawaguchiko is held a festival called the Fuji Shibazakura Festival.
This festival lasts about 1 month during the shibazakura flower blooming. In this festival we can see a variety of Shibazakura flowers ranging from pink, white and purple that are planted with a number of more than 800,000. Besides shibazakura, we can also enjoy other types of flowers such as Muscari flowers, Ane Mone flowers, Forsythia flowers and many more.
