Things to do in Yamanashi City

Lake Kawaguchi is a must-see when visiting, especially for those few days. I saw Mount Fuji from various angles every day. Photos of Mount Fuji are best taken on a clear day; otherwise, you might not be able to get a good shot.

another beautiful scenery, just walking around with family and friends already taken many many photos there with the mountain

This place was SO much fun! I had the best time ever and enjoyed every single moment! 🤩🔥 10/10 experience and I’m definitely coming back for more! No doubt about it! 🎉✨

It is a place worth visiting and learning, and it is very rewarding.

As the cable car slowly ascended, the world outside the window gradually sank below. First, the rows of hotel rooftops appeared, then the lakeside road stretched out like a gray ribbon. Lake Kawaguchi below slowly revealed its full form—no longer just a glimmer of water, but a vast, warm, lustrous piece of jade, carefully cradled in the palm of the surrounding dark green mountains. The moment the cable car passed the treetops, Mount Fuji appeared. It was there, as if it had always been. The snow-capped peak that had required so much effort to look up from the lakeside was now almost level with my eyes. The clouds moved quickly, casting flowing shadows on the conical mountain, and the outline of the snow trembled slightly between the light and shadow, like a long, frozen sigh. At the foot of the mountain, the "Fuji Five Lakes" are like scattered mirrors, with Lake Kawaguchi being the brightest, reflecting the sky and the shadows of the mountains, as well as our slowly moving gondola—we look at the mountains, and the mountains also see themselves in its clear pupils.

Mount Fuji is one of those iconic places that never fails to impress. Seeing Japan's tallest mountain standing majestically against the sky is truly a memorable experience. I love how the scenery changes depending on the season, from cherry blossoms in spring to colourful autumn leaves and snow-covered peaks in winter. Every angle seems to offer a different postcard-worthy view! My personal tip is to allow some flexibility in your itinerary because the weather can affect visibility. If you're lucky enough to catch Fuji on a clear day, it's a sight worth remembering!

I started to like Japanese Warring States history from Nobunaga's Ambition. At the end of March when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, I came to Kai, the hometown of Takeda and the home of Akabi. Fifty years of life is as brilliant as cherry blossoms. Thousands of years later, people are still reminiscing about this era of constant disputes and the rise of heroes.

I bought some peaches, but they weren't very pretty. The ones I bought at the farm store were cheaper, bigger, and without any blemishes.
