Lake Yamanaka Panorama-dai

A stunning viewpoint along Prefectural Route 730, stretching from Lake Yamanaka, one of the Fuji Five Lakes scattered across the northern foothills of Mt. Fuji on the Yamanashi side, to Mikuni Pass. From here, you can take in Lake Yamanaka below, Mt. Fuji beyond it, and even the Southern Alps on a clear day. The most magical time is at dusk, when the lake surface turns orange. The scenery is beautiful in every season: fresh greenery in spring and vibrant, refreshing views in summer.

Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown

During the Edo period, Nagasaki was actively engaged in trade with China, and the land reclaimed from the sea to build a baggage warehouse to store goods from Chinese ships was called Shinchikurasho. Today, a monument to the Shinchikurasho site stands in the center of Chinatown.
