Yamanashi Hidden Gems
La ladera norte del monte Fuji y los Cinco Lagos. La pagoda Chureito con el Fuji de fondo es la postal más icónica de Japón; el reflejo del volcán en el lago Kawaguchiko, la ruta de ascenso de Yoshida y la región vinícola de Kofu son la cara más espectacular de los alrededores de Tokio.
20 spots
Huertos frutales y la mayor región vinícola de Japón, en una cuenca rodeada de montañas con el monte Fuji asomando sobre los lagos del sur.
