    夏休み中ということもあり子供連れが目立ちましたが、平日にもかかわらず大人だけで来ているグループも多く、にぎわっていました。 一緒に行った子供は、これまで魚や昆虫には全く興味を持っていませんでしたが、ひと回りしたあともう一度回りたいと言い出し、楽しそうにあちこち見て回っていました。個人的には、さかな公園内の野草の植栽も楽しめました。 再訪予定です。

Yamanashi Areas

Yamanashi prefecture is the proud home of one of Japan’s most celebrated icons: Mount Fuji. Although the mountain straddles both Yamanashi and Shizuoka, the most breathtaking views of Fuji-san can be seen from the Fuji Five Lakes north of the mountain in Yamanashi prefecture. The plethora of outdoor activities in and around the lakes all have the benefit of the country’s highest mountain as their backdrop, and we can assure you that it is an unforgettable sight.
