Yamanashi Prefecture, located just west of Tokyo, is a land of dramatic natural beauty, dominated by Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji. The prefecture is home to the Fuji Five Lakes (Fujigoko), a popular area for hiking, camping, and viewing the mountain. Yamanashi is also known for its rich agricultural bounty, especially peaches and grapes, and is the heart of Japan’s wine country, producing the native Koshu wine. The capital, Kofu, holds historical significance as the stronghold of Takeda Shingen, a famed samurai warlord. Visitors can also enjoy soothing hot springs in areas like Isawa and Kawaguchiko. With national parks, scenic valleys like Shosenkyo Gorge, and easy access to Tokyo, Yamanashi blends outdoor adventure, cultural heritage, and culinary experiences in one compact region.
