Yamanashi


At the start of March we were invited for a trip out by our friends Ritsuko and Dave, Ben was busy on the day so only I went and I am glad I did.

We went to Yamanashi prefecture which has lots of mountains and is famous for its beautiful nature. It took us about one hour and a half from Tokyo to get there. As soon as arrived I was surprised by the amount of “nature” being stuck in Tokyo and all :P.

We started with lunch which was Hōtō , which is “is a popular regional dish originating from Yamanashi, Japan made by stewing flat udon noodles and vegetables in miso soup.”(Thanks Wikipedia) It was really delicious and just the thing I needed to prepare me for the Hike around Yamanashi.

We thought we would take the “mid-range” hike which was about 6km and took you to most of the best sights, a waterfall and then to the cable car to take you to the top of the mountain.

Walking around was very pleasant thanks to the brilliantly sunny weather, and with it being early spring it wasn’t too hot.

Walking around allowed us to see such great scenery but a picture`s worth 1000 words so here is a whole lotta words:
