Many people planning winery tours to Yamanashi are likely also considering stopping by some of the prefecture's sightseeing spots.
Speaking of Yamanashi sightseeing, the foot of Mount Fuji is a prime destination, and recently, "Fujisan Plaza"—a multi-concept antenna shop showcasing Yamanashi specialties and tourist information—opened right in front of Kawaguchiko Station on the Fujikyuko Line.
This multi-concept antenna shop also carries a selection of Yamanashi wines.
Let us introduce what kind of shop it is.
A Retail Corner Gathering Yamanashi's Alcoholic Beverages!
"Fujisan Plaza" is the very first Yamanashi Prefecture antenna shop facility in the Fuji Five Lakes area.
Situated in a prime location in front of Kawaguchiko Station on the Fujikyuko Line, it serves as a "multi-concept antenna shop" combining a variety of functions.
The retail corner, which introduces and sells Yamanashi specialties, is said to feature local alcoholic beverages, including wines from Yamanashi, the "Wine Prefecture."
While detailed lists have not been disclosed, labels that are rarely found in other prefectures may also make an appearance.
In addition, the shop boasts a rich lineup of Yamanashi specialties, such as items from the "Blue Mt. Fuji" series—including the "Blue Mt. Fuji Curry" that gained buzz on social media and was featured in numerous media outlets—as well as store-exclusive limited items.
They also plan to provide various services, including tourist information and guided tours.
A New Form of Multi-Concept Comprehensive Tourism Facility!
"Fujisan Plaza" aims to be a new type of multi-concept comprehensive tourism facility that caters to tourists' needs not only through general tourist information, but also via bookings for original guided tours, a café stand, and more.
Among these, the highlight offered at the café stand that demands attention is the quirky local soft-serve ice cream, "Yoshida Udon Soft-Serve Ice Cream."
It is reportedly served as a truly one-of-a-kind local soft-serve ice cream in Yamanashi Prefecture, allowing customers to add seasoned egg yolk as a topping (sold separately) or customize it with "suridane," the condiment traditionally used in Yoshida udon.
You might even experience an unexpected pairing with Koshu wine.
Be Sure to Check It Out When Traveling to Yamanashi!
While Katsunuma is the main hub when it comes to Yamanashi wine, the foot of Mount Fuji is also a sightseeing area well worth checking out.
When you travel to Yamanashi, why not pay a visit to "Fujisan Plaza," a new type of multi-concept comprehensive tourism facility?
