Here, water flows into vast forests thriving with wild game and rivers teeming with fish. Amidst this wilderness, patches of tamed, cultivated land emerge like isles of civilization in the untamed wilds. Ancestral rice paddies embrace fields in which the oldest vineyards in Japan bask in the sun. A slumbering giant, the hallowed mountain of Fuji, dominates the landscape in its glory and majesty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Transformative Travel Yamanashi : Delicious Dining and Heightened Senses\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yff2XSYWMfs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For a glimpse of these wonders, look no further than Yamanashi Prefecture (\u5c71\u68a8\u770c), only a 1 hour and 30 minutes train ride from Tokyo.

Turns out that one of these rankings was of <strong>Famous Water Spots<\/strong> and that the prefecture of Yamanashi punches above its weight <strong>hosting three of them.<\/strong> Perhaps the most spectacular of those is the Ojiragawa Canyon (\u5c3e\u767d\u5ddd\u6e13\u8c37). Ojiragawa means \u201criver of the whitetail,\u201d honoring a local tradition that says that the river is the tail of a mythological horse that has inhabited the area since time immemorial. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29211022\/yamanashi_water_of_life_02.jpg\" alt=\"person doing yoga in the nature\" class=\"wp-image-99809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29211022\/yamanashi_water_of_life_02.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29211022\/yamanashi_water_of_life_02-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/29211022\/yamanashi_water_of_life_02-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The sight of any of <strong>the ethereal canyon waterfalls <\/strong>will likely remind you of this.
