YamanashiArchitectureKoshu
Kanzo Yashiki
A house that supplied liquorice to the shogunate, its roof raised in three tiers for silkworm rearing.
YamanashiArchitectureŌtsuki
Saruhashi Bridge
No piers: timbers cantilever out from both banks in stages - a method invented because the gorge was too deep to stand in.
YamanashiArchitectureFujiyoshida
Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine
The start of the Yoshida climbing route, its painted Momoyama sanctuary standing at the end of a giant cedar avenue.
YamanashiArchitectureFujiyoshida
Oshi Pilgrim Lodgings
Lodgings for Fuji pilgrims: long narrow plots running back from the road, with a channel drawn in for purification.
YamanashiArchitectureKofu
Takeda Clan Residence Site
Shingen ruled from a square residence, not a castle - his saying that people are the castle, left in the ground.
YamanashiArchitectureKai
Shingen Levee
Rather than sealing the river, the levee is deliberately gapped to let water escape - engineering doctrine as landscape.
YamanashiArchitectureHokuto
Kiyosato Highland Buildings
A highland community founded by an American missionary, its timber lodge buildings still standing in the woods.
Kofu
Modern Architecture of Kofu
From pseudo-Western schools to postwar modernism, Kofu keeps the layers of a provincial city's modernity.
YamanashiArchitectureHayakawa
Villages of Hayakawa
A pilgrimage stop between two sacred mountains, its houses stepped up stone terraces on a steep slope.
YamanashiArchitectureKoshu
Zen Temples of Kai
Zen spread here under Takeda patronage, leaving medieval halls and images scattered across the province.
YamanashiArchitectureFujiyoshida
Honcho Street, Fujiyoshida
A street aimed straight at Mt Fuji, its Showa shopfronts and the mountain falling into one frame.
YamanashiArchitectureKofu
Stone Walls of Kofu Castle
The keep is gone; only the rough-stacked stone walls remain, rising in the middle of the modern city.
Minami-Alps
Alluvial Fan of the Midai River
Stone works built to tame a violent river; the terrain and the villages on it were shaped by that engineering.
