Herb Festival of Lake Kawaguchi 2013

I went to the Herb Festival of Lake Kawaguchi. It seemed a bit different as it used to be... may be because it has registered the World Cultural Heritage.
久しぶりに河口湖ハーブフェスティバルに行ってきました。
富士山が世界遺産に登録された今年はいつもと違ってましたね。
Most of lavender bloomed out. Some of them were almost ready though. They were very pretty.
一部開花がまだの所もありましたがほぼ綺麗に咲いていました。

There were such pretty flower tower also....
正面からはこんなですが
You can see its "back stage."
舞台裏はこんな感じです(笑)
Terry enjoyed the flowes.
テリー君も鑑賞です。
The Mu-zu Museum was admission free to commemorate the registration.
世界遺産登録を記念して、ミューズ館が入場無料でした。

Although we couldn't make it, you can see Mt Fuji like the photo below if it would be fine weather. So I used the photo (below) from the official site. It shows the lights of the cabin on the mountain.
オフィシャルサイトの写真では、背景に富士山が。しかも山小屋の明かりまで見えます。私たちは残念ながら観ることは出来ませんでした。
We had lavender ice-cream that is the must have one for us!
ラベンダーアイスクリームもはずせません。
Then we had meal time here. It's Terry's favorite place.
そしてお食事はテリー君行きつけのこちらで。
Since Terry has allergy for some food so we brought salmon for him.
テリー君は食物アレルギーのため、持参した鮭を食べました。
After all we went to a doggy park. Just as usual...
その後はお約束のドッグランで。
We had a fun time there. Yes, we'll visit there again, Terry.
今日も楽しかったね~
また行こうね、テリー君

The photo above is also from the official site. Very beautiful!!
写真はオフィシャルサイトからです。富士山は本当に美しい!!
