今日のテーマは、山梨県の「河口湖」。
Among the various cosmos flowers, the park has many summer cypress plants, which are used as an ornamental plant. In Japan, the plant is known as either “kokia” (コキア) or “houki-gusa” (ほうき草 lit. broom-grass) since the plant is used for making brooms after the dead plant dries out. The plant also seems to be known as fireweed, kochia burning bush, summer cypress, ragweed, and several more names.

It is a 3-hour 40-minute drive to the park if you take toll-free highways, or a 1-hour 50-minute drive if you take expressways (tolls apply).
Taking a train to Kawaguchiko Station and a bus to the Kawaguchiko Natural Living Center bus stop will take about 3 hours.
White Cosmos
Depending on the season, there can be as many as 100,000 flowers in bloom throughout Oishi Park. On a clear day can be seen rising up over the lake.
Summer Cypress
Summer Cypress and Lake
This area of Oishi Park has many summer cypress planted here so that visitors can enjoy the plants in the foreground with Mt. Fuji in the background just across the lake. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was tucked behind thick cloud cover at the time of this photo shoot. Will definitely try to visit this location again in the future.
