Small shrine on a tiny island in the lake

A small bridge leads to a lakeside path

Blue hills across the lake

These cherry trees must be pretty in spring

In July the hydrangeas were just beginning to fade

I wonder if that soft cream is advertising blueberry or lavender?

The lavender was mostly finished blooming

A 'tree' of wind chimes

A line of cherry trees edged the large lavender garden

Pretty flower border

This very pretty park is the main venue for the Kawaguchiko Herb Festival held yearly from mid-June to mid-July, when the purple lavender is in full bloom. I visited in late July, too late for the lavender. There is a small shrine, Rokkakudo, on a tiny island just offshore, and on the west side of the park you can find Kawaguchiko Muse Museum. Yagizaki Park is a lovely place for a picnic!
