Yamanakako Hananomiyako Park|A spectacular spot with flower gardens and Mt.

Capturing the refreshingly spectacular view of the flower fields at Lake Yamanakako Hananomiyako Park with Mt.

Lake Yamanakako Hananomiyako Park is a photographic spot where visitors can enjoy the coexistence of seasonal flowers and Mt. In spring, colorful tulips and fresh nemophilas bloom and spread, creating a beautiful contrast between the blue sky and Mt. In summer, sunflowers are in full bloom, and their bright yellow color against the backdrop of Mt. Fuji creates a powerful picture. In autumn, cosmos in pale hues adorn the park, reminding us of the gentle transition of the season. Fuji, and the flowers change their expressions with each season, making this a place where visitors can capture a different charm in their photographs each time they visit.

Key points for photography

The key to photographing flowers is to check in advance the direction from which Mt. Fuji can be seen and the layout of the flower garden, and to compose the image with the flowers in the foreground and with depth in mind. Tulips and nemophila in spring, sunflowers in summer, and cosmos in autumn all vary in height and density, so shooting from a low position will simultaneously express the volume of the flowers and the presence of Mt. Fuji tends to be hidden by clouds, so aiming early in the morning makes it easier to see the mountain and capture its clear shape in the clear air. Fuji is easy to see if you aim early in the morning. Not only on sunny days, but also on days with light clouds, the light will soften and the colors of the flowers will come out naturally. By carefully balancing the flowers and Mt. Fuji while checking the best time to see the flowers in each season and paying attention to the strength of the wind, you can create a picture that is unique to Yamanakako Hananomiyako Koen.
