    Yamanashi Pref. Hokutoshi Kobuchisawachou
    "This trail was a military roadway developed during the Warring States Period. It runs from south to west across the Yatsugatake Mountain foothills, connecting the borders between the former provinces of Kai and Shinano (modern Yamanashi and Nagano Prefectures respectively). The trail was reportedly made to help Takeda Shingen capture Shinano. ""Bomichi"" means the ""staff road"" and was named for its straightness. Today it's a nature trail, and a walking map is available to help you take in the rich environment along the way. It also has 36 stone Buddhist statues marking various sacred spots from the Edo Period. "

Yamanashi prefecture is the proud home of one of Japan’s most celebrated icons: Mount Fuji. Although the mountain straddles both Yamanashi and Shizuoka, the most breathtaking views of Fuji-san can be seen from the Fuji Five Lakes north of the mountain in Yamanashi prefecture. The plethora of outdoor activities in and around the lakes all have the benefit of the country’s highest mountain as their backdrop, and we can assure you that it is an unforgettable sight.
