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.

12 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.

Clima y mejor temporada

Sin salida al mar y seco: veranos calurosos, inviernos fríos y despejados con poca nieve en la cuenca. Las mañanas de invierno ofrecen las vistas más nítidas del Fuji.
