Yamanashi Hidden Gems
Le versant nord du mont Fuji et les Cinq Lacs. La pagode Chureito avec le Fuji en toile de fond est la carte postale la plus emblématique du Japon ; le reflet du volcan dans le lac Kawaguchiko, la voie d'ascension Yoshida et la région viticole de Kofu sont le visage le plus spectaculaire des environs de Tokyo.
20 spots
Vergers fruitiers et plus grande région viticole du Japon, dans un bassin cerné de montagnes avec le mont Fuji qui domine les lacs au sud.
