    This valley community is located about 60 minutes from Kofu-minami Interchange or Kawaguchiko Interchange on the Chuo Expressway. It once prospered as a post station on the Minobu Okan, a road that connects Kuonji Temple on Mt. Minobu, the head temple of the Nichiren Shu order of Nichiren Buddhism, to Mt. Shichimen, one of its sacred sites. Until the current roads were built in the late 1950s, the Minobu Okan was the only road to Mt. Shichimen, so the post town was patronized by many temple visitors. It is said that 1000 people a day stayed in the town's lodges during its peak between the Meiji period and the early Showa period. The buildings and cobbled streets look just as they did during centuries ago during the Edo period. This townscape has been designated as a Preservation District for Groups of Important Historic Buildings.

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.
