山梨県 河口湖 (Kawaguchi Lake in Yamanashi)


The weekend was spent at Kawaguchi Lake in Yamanashi prefecture. Kawaguchiko is one of the famnous Fujigoko, the five lakes around Mount Fuji. We stayed a night at a pension called Blue Poppy. It was a cosy little European style house sitting near the hills north of Kawaguchiko. Its run by a nice old cpouple who live by themselves there as their 2 daughters are not living with them.



The Yamamotos have a nice flower garden, and the above is an English Rose. She has several types of roses in her garden and some local Japanese flowers as well.



Here's a peach rose bud.


They also keep several cats, one of which is 20 years old, equivalent to 110 human years !
