Mt Fuji cherry blossom forecast
Fuji, pagodas and lakes framed by blossoms, about a week after Tokyo.
Early to mid April Full bloom around 10 April
When do cherry blossoms bloom in Mt Fuji?
The Fuji Five Lakes sit around 850 metres above sea level, so blossoms arrive about one to two weeks after central Tokyo. That gives you a second chance if you miss the city peak.
Mornings are best for clear views of the mountain. Clouds often build by midday, so plan Chureito pagoda early and keep the lakeshore for the afternoon.
