Yamanashi Inden, the Traditional Japanese Lacquer and Leather Handicrafts by Yamanashi Artisans<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nHow to Get to Yamanashi Prefecture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Yamanashi main center is easily accessible by JR Tokaido Shinkansen<\/strong> from Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and other major cities. Kofu Station and Otsuki Station are two main hubs from which you can travel to all other destinations via local trains and buses. For those on a tighter budget, the Azusa or Kaiji Limited Express<\/strong> from Shinjuku Station can take you directly to Yamanashi’s Kofu Station via the JR Chuo Line<\/strong> (approx. 1 hour and 30 min.) An even cheaper option is to take one of the highway buses departing from all major cities in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
