From October 20 to November 30, 2022, the first glamping resort in Japan, “Hoshinoya Fuji,” is offering an elegant plan to enjoy the spectacular view of Diamond Fuji. Enjoy the unobstructed view from the terrace on the lake with sparkling wine made in the image of a brilliant diamond.
Lake Yamanakako offers the closest view of Mt.Fuji. We will take a small boat to the point where Diamond Fuji can be seen while viewing swans and the gentle ridges of the mountains. After the boat ride, you will be taken to a floating terrace on the lake where you can enjoy the magnificent winter view of Mt.Fuji.
From the terrace floating on the lake with no obstacles around, you will be able to appreciate the beautiful view of Diamond Fuji as the setting sun overlaps the peak of Mt.Fuji.
On the outdoor terrace, “Alga Blanca Brillante” by Katsunuma Brewery, one of the leading wineries in Yamanashi Prefecture, will be served. This sparkling wine is brewed from Koshu, a grape variety unique to Japan.
Finger foods using game meat (gibier) and fruits will be prepared to accompany the fresh, mouthwatering drink. The sparkling wine, created to resemble the color of a brilliant diamond, is perfect for enjoying while viewing the beautiful Diamond Fuji.
A glamping master will prepare a comfortable space on the terrace with a spectacular view. The terrace is equipped with tables and chairs as well as blankets for warmth and full support. While on the way to the terrace, you can listen to the glamping master talk about Diamond Fuji and the nature of Lake Yamanaka.
