A breathtaking spectacle! The Kofu Basin is painted pink – a true peach blossom paradise, like a painting come to life.
Ichinomiya Peach Blossom Village (Hanami Plaza), located in Ichinomiya-cho, Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture, is a peach blossom field that reaches its peak bloom in early April. Every year, around 200,000 peach trees bloom, painting the Kofu Basin in a stunning pink hue, creating a true peach blossom paradise. The sight of the endless pink blossoms contrasting with the distant views of Mount Fuji and the Southern Alps is breathtakingly beautiful. During the blossom season, many visitors come to enjoy the scenery, taking photos and strolling through the fields. You can take a leisurely walk through the vast peach orchards or enjoy the view from an observation point, spending your time as you wish. In addition to peach blossoms, Ichinomiya-cho has other spots where various flowers, such as cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers, bloom, so you might consider visiting them as well. This is a recommended sightseeing spot to fully enjoy the spring season in Yamanashi Prefecture.
