■ 12 May 2016

I went there by the car.
But parking lot was already full when I arrived at there on 9:20 A.M.
Because this festival was very popular.
The staff told me that I could use parking lot of Hakone shrine.
It took 5 minutes by walk from Hakone shrine to here.

I could enjoyed seeing the beautiful scenery of various azalea and Mt.Fuji.

As time went by, more and more people came.
So when you go there, you should go earlier.

I went to Odakyu Hotel de Yama near Lake Ashi to see azalea fair.
You can see many beautiful azalea.
It cleared up so I could see beautiful mount Fuji,too.

I went there at 10:00 A.M.
Because it is easy to see mount Fuji in the morning.
And I could take photo and video freely because it wasn’t so crowded.
