야마나시현 지역의 명소

Small cable car that takes you to the top of the mountains overlooking Kofu with (on a clear day) a great view of Mount Fuji. Not for the faint of heart if worried about heights.

It will be great to read some history of Takeda Shingen from the war period in Japan prior to visiting the temple. A totally historical place that continue to play import religious roles in the...

The mountainous Kiyosato area at the foot of the towering Yatsugatake mountains has several good roads connecting Yamanashi and parts of Nagano to the north, as well as the quirky little JR Koumi...

信州方面に行くとき、中央道だと、八ヶ岳Pをよく利用します。国道２０号線を利用するときは、ここで休憩します。売店を利用しますが、少し高めのように思われます。今回、諏訪湖周辺に行きますので、もう何回も来ています。

Following Shousenkyou Valley, we visited Erinji Buddhist Temple of the Rinzai zen sect in Koushuu City. There are a couple of must sees in this temple founded in the 14th century which is also the...

I’ve only toured the museum exhibits once but I often came to visit the gorgeous gardens and walk the grounds. My girlfriend and I came here together and we have wonderful memories of this place. The...

Trekking up the stations of Fuji Subaru Line will always depend on the current weather restrictions. During our date of visit, the highest level our van could go to was the 4th station (2020m high...

A Michi-no-Eki with good selections of local fruits & vegetables, blueberries, plums, corn-on-the-cob, kohlrabi, local souvenirs. Clean restaurants. Wished for better lunch choices. Has a free Mt...

I love Japanese Onsen and wanted for my boys (age 7-10) to try. It was part of the day trip after we visited Mount Fuji 5th station in the morning. We had a sukiyaki lunch, with bowls of rice...

We just returned from our Mt Fuji day trip. We decided to concentrate only at Lake Kawaguchi. So we did the Ropeway and the Lake cruise. Cost is ¥1600 for adult and ¥800 for child. You can purchase...

二日連続で昼と夜に行きました。 お風呂は毎日男女入れ替えなのか、それぞれ楽しむことができ、昼の景色も山々を眺めることができて素敵ですが、夜の町の煌めきはとても素敵です。 こんなにもいろいろな色のライトがあるんだな、という驚きです。 館内は食事、マッサージ、土産物天と色々と充実しており、外には野菜直売所もあります。 ハンコの店があったのが気になりましたが、実は市川三郷町って全国生産５割を誇るんですね...

Winter of 2018 is HUGE in many parts of Japan, but visitors to Tokyo and the Kanto areas are not seeing much of the white stuff, but even if you are short on time and resources, you can still put in...

To be honest Makiba Park is not really a park but a pull-off rest area from the road connecting Kobuchizawa down in the valley (with its highway exit and train terminal) with the local resort area...

It is a nice place to visit as the area is big with a lot of Herb around the garden. Inside this Herd garden, there are a souvenir, beauty product and an ice-cream counter sell lavender ice-cream.

It was a very good stopover, especially if you are on a trip to relax and to put your minds at ease. It has a nice souvenir store with natural flowers home-grown (e.g., essential oils). If you are...

This goes from the nearby temple to the summit of Mt Minobu and saves the arduous 4+ hour round trip. It costs about 1400 yen per person return but the views from the top alone are worth it. You have...

I dont know if we were unlucky because we went on a week day, but the place seemed to be half abandoned. You pass by a first building literally abandoned, and then go to the main building were you...
