Yamaguchi Lake Sakura | Fuji's Most Photogenic Companion

#cherryblossom25 The smallest of Fuji Five Lakes in Yamanashi's Fujikawaguchiko Town, Yamaguchi-ko boasts the area's most pristine sakura views. Each mid-April, 200 wild yamazakura bloom along its shores, their pale pink blossoms framing reflected Fuji-san in a "compact but mighty" composition locals call "the mountain's best floral match." Essential Info - Best Viewing: Mid to late April (slightly later than Kawaguchi-ko) - Varieties: Primarily yamazakura with reddish-pink hues - Magic Moment: "Triple Fuji" shots (real + reflection + petal shimmer) on windless days
