[1 Night, 2 Days in Yamanashi] Refresh at a Highland Resort on the Southern Foothills of Yatsugatake!

The first place to visit is Moeginomura, a multi-purpose complex surrounded by Kiyosato’s rich natural beauty.
Centered around a wildflower garden, the grounds are dotted with classical buildings, unique shops, cafes, and places where you can enjoy craft experiences.
One spot you won’t want to miss is Carousel Dream, the only merry-go-round in Japan set in a forest.
Even just walking among the green trees feels refreshing, letting you enjoy the slow pace of the highlands.

After your walk, you’ll probably be ready for lunch. Head to ROCK, the restaurant inside Moeginomura, for a meal you’ve been looking forward to.
At this long-loved favorite in the Kiyosato Highlands, the must-try dish is the signature ROCK Beef Curry.
It’s a Kiyosato specialty, with 150,000 orders served each year.
Another recommendation is the original craft beer brewed at Yatsugatake Brewery, which has won world championships in numerous competitions.

After lunch, take a taxi for Approx. 15 minutes to Sun Meadows Kiyosato Foothill Center House. Then hop on the panoramic lift and enjoy an Approx. 10-minute ride through the sky to Kiyosato Terrace.
Located at an elevation of 1,900 meters, this open-air scenic spot offers a sweeping panorama of Mt. Fuji and the Nobeyama Highlands.
Sit back on a resort-style garden sofa and enjoy a relaxing cafe break while taking in the beautiful view.
Feel the highland breeze and spend a leisurely moment here.

After enjoying Kiyosato Terrace, take the lift back down to the base, then ride a taxi for Approx. 10 minutes to Seisenryo.
This popular lodging sits on expansive grounds, welcoming visitors with sweeping views of the Yatsugatake Mountains and the Southern Alps right in front of them.
Rooms come in a wide variety of styles, including the main building, new building, and cottages, so you can choose what best suits your trip.
There is also the open-air bath Seisen no Yu, which uses spring water from Yatsugatake, where you can stretch out and soothe away the fatigue of travel.

In addition to the lodging buildings, the grounds also have cafes, restaurants, and gift shops, another nice point that makes your stay even more fulfilling.
The famous Seisenryo Soft Cream at Seisenryo Jersey Hut has a rich flavor and is perfect for a short break during your walk.
A classic way to enjoy this place is to soak your feet in Seisen Footbath while savoring soft cream and taking in the grand scenery.

Makiba Park, developed as part of Yamanashi Prefectural Yatsugatake Ranch, lets you interact with animals such as sheep, goats, and ponies, and if you stroll along the walking paths, you can also enjoy spectacular views overlooking the Southern Alps and the Yatsugatake mountain range.
As you walk under the blue sky while watching the animals roam freely, you may feel your mind naturally relax. There is also a cafe and shop, making it easy to enjoy a peaceful highland morning surrounded by nature.

After enjoying a morning walk at Makiba Park, take a taxi for Approx. 10 minutes to Kiyosato Station.
Take the Yatsugatake Kogen Line to Kobuchizawa Station, then transfer to the JR Chuo Main Line for 25 minutes to Anayama Station. From there, take a taxi to your destination.
Yamanashi Prefectural Flower Center Heidi's Village is a flower-and-greenery theme park that recreates the world of the anime Heidi, Girl of the Alps.
Inside the park, you’ll find buildings modeled after Swiss streetscapes and exhibits that recreate scenes from the story.
First, enjoy lunch at the park restaurant with its specialty cheese fondue.
After the meal, spend a relaxing afternoon taking commemorative photos at the recreated Alm mountain hut and strolling through gardens filled with seasonal flowers.
