En route back from the Makiba Restaurant in Kiyosato, we stopped at another Yamanashi winter illumination. Risonare Yatsugatake is part of the Hoshino Resorts chain, and all along the shopping street in their Yatsugatake complex, they have created a winter wonderland with their Christmas lights.

The street has been transformed, with a Christmas market, hot drinks for sale, and a small ice skating rink.

It is a perfect location for anyone to go and enjoy the winter feeling! The shops are also open until quite late, so you can shop while you walk along the path.

If you find yourself around Yatsugatake, go and take a look! You won’t be disappointed.
