Yamanashi is also a fruit kingdom, where cherry, grape, and peach picking can be enjoyed, and skiing, snowshoeing, and wakasagi fishing are popular in winter. Yamanashi Prefecture has become a mecca for camping thanks to the "YuruCan△" anime series. A tour of the sacred sites of the anime is also recommended.
