Course Highlights
Yatsugatake Plateau
The stars above the plateau are unlike anywhere else in Japan. The plateau combined with the clear northern air makes the perfect stage to take in this cosmic symphony.
Kiyosoto Terrace, 1,900 Meters in the Sky
Located on the highest point of the plateau, this area is the perfect platform to enjoy a sweeping view of the area and the intense coloration of the sky that has been dubbed “Yatsugatake Blue.”
Rustic Nature to Explore
Rolling green fields and a backdrop of distant mountains create the perfect atmosphere to slip into the slow paced and relax mindset of rustic Japan.
Wine from the Foothills of Mt. Kaikoma
The wine comes from vineyards that have enjoyed the rich soil at the foothills of the mountains here as well as a steady stream of clear water trickling down from the icy peaks of the surrounding mountain ranges.
