This hardy wild variety of cherry blossom has smaller than other cherry blossoms and does well in cold weather and grows well even at high altitudes. So-named because they are common around Mt.

- Kaneyama Falls
- Travel / Tourism
- Yamanashi Pref. Fujiyoshidashi Kamiyoshida
- Kaneyama Falls, with a 10-meter drop in two streams, is on the upper reaches of the Katsuragawa River, which flows into the Sagamigawa River. Formerly, it was called Kaneyama Pool, because the pool at the bottom of the falls is extremely deep. In the spring, the azalea bloom, and visitors enjoy the fresh greenery in the summer, while the Japanese maples are lovely in the fall. The contrast between these plants and the white foam from the falls is delightful. The falls are located a short walk from the so-called Fujisan Museum (the former Fuji-Yoshida Museum of Local History).

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.
