This very pretty park is the main venue for the Kawaguchiko Herb Festival held yearly from mid-June to mid-July, when the purple lavender is in full bloom. I visited in late July, too late for the lavender. There is a small shrine, Rokkakudo, on a tiny island just offshore, and on the west side of the park you can find Kawaguchiko Muse Museum. Yagizaki Park is a lovely place for a picnic!
