And so the day we’re scheduled to see Mt. Fuji had begun. It was a 2-hour drive from Tokyo to our first stop – the Peter Rabbit English Garden. And here we are!

Wow! I learned a few things about this gorgeous piece of land. It was designed by British garden designer Mark Chapman. It’s an English-style garden that boasts stunning views of Mount Fuji and features approximately 300 species of flowers and trees.

From spring to early autumn, one can enjoy the delightful coexistence of these botanical wonders alongside beloved characters like Peter Rabbit. We took a leisurely stroll through this authentic garden and immersed ourselves in its serene beauty.

The garden’s ambiance and British charm was evident at the Cafe. There were imaginative menu items inspired by the world of Peter Rabbit. However, we opted to dine outside with several food stands offering a wider choice of lunch items.

There’s also an 8-meter-high observation tower you can climb for breathtaking views of the garden and the mountain.

Selfie and photo op to your heart’s content as you take in the picturesque landscape.

And just like that, it was time move on.

I loved our time here though, short as it was.
