Hokuto trip planner

The small city of Hokuto sits amid some big scenery. Offering a chance to see rural Japanese life, Hokuto holidays provide an escape from crowds, ceremony, and commercialism. Some little-known mountains, rivers, and lakes deserve exploration across the wider prefecture, while the land immediately surrounding the city offers plenty of walking routes through the tall forested areas. A number of small shrines and temples dot the landscape here, providing the setting for regular folk festivals that have been observed for generations. Hokuto is in Yamanashi Prefecture.
