Since February 14th, people
coming to Yamanashi can check out beautiful peach blossoms in full bloom at House
Momoen, in Fuefuki City.
With an average temperature of 25 degrees
Celsius, at House Momoen you can try Hanami, the traditional Japanese custom of
watching flowers in Spring, especially cherry blossoms and peach blossoms, that
color the scenery in sweet tones of pink.
It is possible to see these flowers
throughout all Japan, mainly from March to May depending on the region, but at
House Momoen you can enjoy spring flowers before any other place in the
country.
A koto concert was held in the first day |
We visited House Momoen in the opening day,
February 14th, and enjoyed the spring warmth inside one of the greenhouses even
when outside was freezing. Many farms in the area are part of House Momoen, and
depending on the day of your visit, after checking in the reception (at JA
Fuefuki), you will be guided to the one which has more blooming flowers, so
there is no need to worry about when is the best day to see them.
Besides admiring these lovely flowers, during
weekends it is possible to taste wine and juice produced in the region, which
is famous for being the biggest grape and peach producer in Japan.
Our picnic |
Inside the houses there is an area for
picnics and barbecue, being the perfect location for couples, families and groups
of friends relax in warm place surround by beautiful
flowers.
House Momoen will be held until mid-March. Entrance
fee is 500 yen per person, with a juice included, and there are special prices
for groups and visitor using the taxis from the area.
