Yamanashi’s Fuji Motosuko Resort is home to one of the best events on the spring flower calendar in Japan – the Fuji Shibazakura Festival. The same venue is hosting an autumnal event this year, which promises colorful rows of floral beauty for guests to enjoy.

The Rainbow Flower Festival will showcase a variety of blooms in different shades, from begonias and ageratum through to zinnias and salvia.

Dedicated photo spots will also be set up at the event, including a vibrant yellow door which opens up to a stunning view of Mount Fuji on clear days.

Admission to the event is priced at ¥800 for adults (counted as anyone junior high school aged and above), and ¥300 for children over 3 years of age.
