YamanashiContemporary ArtKofu
Shosenkyo Gorge
Granite towers left by weathering; the same valley yielded the crystal that founded the local carving trade.
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.
YamanashiArt & CraftsIchikawamisato
Paper and Fireworks of Ichikawa
A paper town that also makes fireworks - the shells are wound from paper, so the two trades grew together.

Shingen Levee
Rather than sealing the river, the levee is deliberately gapped to let water escape - engineering doctrine as landscape.
YamanashiContemporary ArtKoshu
Vineyards of Katsunuma
Trellised vineyards covering the slopes, where Japanese winemaking began; Meiji brick cellars still stand.
YamanashiContemporary ArtOshino
Oshino Hakkai
Eight springs fed by Fuji's groundwater, visited in sequence by pilgrims - belief mapped onto terrain.
YamanashiArt & CraftsFujikawaguchiko
The Five Lakes and Fuji's Viewpoints
The exact spots Hokusai and Hiroshige drew can still be stood on, and the compositions checked against the view.
YamanashiContemporary ArtHokuto
Koumi Line and the Yatsugatake
A railway at 1,375 metres, a single drawn line across the plateau that photographers return to.
YamanashiContemporary ArtHokuto
Jindai Zakura
One of Japan's three great cherries: hollowed out and held up by props, standing as a form made by time.

Mt Kaikoma and Mountain Worship
A white granite peak worshipped as a body of the god, its climbing path punctuated by stone shrines.
YamanashiContemporary ArtNirasaki
Shichiriiwa Cliffs of Nirasaki
Thirty kilometres of cliff formed by pyroclastic flow, with halls dug sideways into the rock face.
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.
