    Yamanashi Hokuto Hakushucho Shirasu 8383-1

    日曜日に行ったのですが、休日は工場は稼働しないのでしょうか?それとも、たまたまだったのかは分かりませんが、ラインが動いてるところが見れなかったのは残念でした。でも朝一で予約して行ったので、まだ人が少なくて、アイスはゆっくり食べることができました。近くに、サントリーの白州工場があるので、そちらと合わせて予約をとりました。

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.
