日本一の富士の国山梨

Yamanashi is located in the center of Japan and is a region richly endowed with nature and surrounded by beautiful mountains. One of those mountains is Fujisan (Mt. Fuji), the highest mountain in Japan, with a height of 3,776 meters.

The beauty of the four seasons in Yamanashi is spectacular. In the spring, the Kofu basin is filled with blooming peach blossoms which blanket the area, making it appear like a paradise. With the crisp, refreshing breeze of the Fuji Five Lakes and the Kiyosato highland in the summer, dyed in fall colors in autumn, and the sight of a snow-covered Mt. Fuji in winter, travelers passing through Yamanashi are guaranteed an array of breathtaking views.

Yamanashi is considered to be Japan’s “kingdom of fruit,” and boasts high-class grapes and peaches cultivated with superior techniques. From summer to autumn, you can enjoy picking grapes and peaches at farms open to the public. Strawberry picking in the spring and cherry picking in early summer are also popular. The production of high-quality wine is well established in the prefecture. This unique wine is characteristically known for being a superb complement to Japanese cuisine.

Furthermore, Yamanashi is a highly-regarded spa and health resort destination that has many high-quality hot springs. We recommend you enter a Japanese-style bath and let your tired body rest after your journey.

Yamanashi’s beautiful scenery and delicious foods are not its only attractions. You can experience the pure and beautiful spirit that is unique to Japan, such as ancient and medieval sites, temples, shrines, and old houses.

Yamanashi is close to Tokyo, and is only 1.5 hours away by train. Please visit Yamanashi if you happen to come to Japan. We welcome all visitors with a warm heart!

It will be only 25 minutes from Tokyo to Yamanashi!

You can see live demonstrations at the Yamanashi Prefectural
