Lunch and Strolling at a Hilltop Park Overlooking the Kofu Basin and Mount Fuji

About this spot

Located about 10 minutes by car from Isawa Onsen Station, this is a municipally-managed fruit orchard park sprawling across a hillside along the Fuefuki River. From the hilltop at approximately 270 meters elevation, you can take in a panoramic view of the Kofu Basin, and on clear days, Mount Fuji is visible all the way to the horizon. The park features exhibition facilities themed around fruits, grassy areas, and playground zones where you can enjoy soft-serve ice cream and light meals made with Yamanashi's seasonal fruits. Summer is the season for peaches and grapes, and the park shop sells locally-produced fruit. Begin your full day with a refreshing start in this expansive, open landscape that will make you want to take a deep breath.
