This time, we will introduce some scenic spots that you should visit before the rainy season for those coming to Japan from overseas.
The rainy season is the season when a lot of rain falls across Japan from late May to early July.
If rainy days continue for several days, sightseeing can become difficult.
That's why now, with plenty of sunny days, is your chance!
We'll introduce you to three spots where you can fully enjoy Japan's nature and scenery.
【【1. Mount Fuji and Moss Phlox (Fujimoto Lake Resort, Yamanashi Prefecture)】
The best time to see the flowers is from early to mid-May at the Fuji Shibazakura Festival.
Approximately 500,000 pink moss phlox plants spread across the ground, and the contrast with Mount Fuji towering in the background is truly spectacular!
Access: About 2.5 hours from Tokyo by train and bus

【【② Tea fields in the sky (Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture)】
The tea fields that spread across the mountains of Shizuoka Prefecture are so beautiful that they are called "tea fields in the sky."
The combination of the tea fields and blue sky overlooking the mountain is sure to be Instagram-worthy! You can also enjoy tea picking at a local tea farm and compare different Japanese teas.

【【3. Kyoto Arashiyama Bamboo Forest Path (Kyoto Prefecture)
The bamboo forest in Arashiyama, Kyoto is the perfect spot to visit on a sunny morning before the rainy season.
The straight bamboo and the tranquil space create a soothing landscape unique to Japan.
If you go early in the morning, there will be fewer tourists and you can enjoy a quieter and more magical atmosphere.

Please enjoy the beautiful natural scenery of Japan.
