About Kofu Area

Kofu, where history and nature coexist in harmony and soothe the soul

The Kofu area is a charming region where history and nature coexist in harmony, surrounded by the beautiful mountains of Mount Fuji and the Southern Alps. Kofu Castle, Takeda Shrine, and many other spots associated with Shingen Takeda, a warlord of the Warring States Period, make this area a must-see for history buffs.

It is also famous for its vineyards and as one of Japan's leading wine-producing regions. Yumura Onsen, also known as a hot spring resort, offers a relaxing and healing experience in the midst of nature.

The rich nature, historical buildings, delicious wine and gourmet food, and hot springs attract foreign tourists with their diverse attractions.
