Introducing the Charm of Hokuto City | Takane Kleingarten

A superb location looking up at the majestic Yatsugatake mountain range to the north, with a panoramic view stretching to Mt. Fuji and the Southern Alps. Takane Kleingarten is a facility that combines "rental cottages" and "allotment gardens" spread across a quiet rural area.

You can freely enjoy your time, whether it's experiencing a villa atmosphere in a log house full of the warmth of wood, or trying your hand at making "Houtou," a local dish of Yamanashi. With good access to the Kiyosato Highland and Kobuchisawa, it is also recommended to relax at the nearby hot spring "Takane no Yu" after playing plenty. Why not start growing your own vegetables at the citizen farm, where even beginners can receive safe support?
