Yummy Yamanashi
Only a few hours from Tokyo, Yamanashi offers a welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of the Japanese capital. How? In a word: wine. Yamanashi sits at the centre of Japan’s leading wine region.

Yamanashi is a hiker’s paradise and is surrounded by mountains and covered in the forests of its many national parks. Then soothe those aching muscles in the world-renowned onsens (hot springs), including the most famous of them all, Masutomi Onsen. So from wine to workout to the wow factor and everything in between, Yamanashi delivers.
YAMANASHI’S TOP 10
10. Minami Alps National Park Keep a lookout for wild boar, deer and bears. |
5. Seihaku-ji Temple Don’t miss out on the chance to see a national treasure. |
9. Mount Minobu Join the Buddhist pilgrims at the summit of this mountain for spectacular views. |
4. Fujikyu Highland Amusement Park Experience a whole new level of stomach-dropping terror on the famous fourth-dimension roller coaster – not for the fainthearted. |
8. Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park With gorges and canyons to discover, this is an adventurer’s paradise. |
3. Fuji Five Lakes These lakes were formed by previous eruptions from Mount Fuji, but considering it hasn’t erupted in 300 years you should be OK. |

2. Isawa Onsen Enjoy the modern facilities at this hot spring in the mountains. |
6. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park The most-visited national park in Japan offers lakes, waterfalls… and Mount Fuji. |
1. Mount Fuji Visit the tallest mountain and one of the symbols of Japan. |
