Shizuoka's Komuroyama Park is home to an azalea festival around mid-April to early May each year, and there are plenty of the lovely blooms to appreciate! The grounds are home to an impressive 100,000 azaleas in 40 different varieties, and they cover a space of approximately 35,000 square meters. There are also typically a range of flea market booths and food vendors to grab a bite to eat at.
If the overwhelming number of azaleas weren't enough to pique your interest, on clear days visitors can even catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji on the horizon.
