Hello, this is the main building of Yamanashi Wine Kingdom 🍷
Now that it is mid-October, trees in sunny spots and places that cool off in the mornings and evenings are starting to change color.
The unstable weather makes the progress of autumn foliage a little worrisome, but the feel of fall is certainly drawing near.
And this season’s new wine has come out delicious as well!
Please enjoy the fresh flavors crafted with great care.
Mornings and evenings are getting chilly.
When you visit, please dress warmly.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you ✨

Hello 😃✨ This is Yamanashi Wine Kingdom Senga Falls store! 🌿 Shosenkyo Gorge is a beautiful ravine that is popular throughout Japan. The highlight there is Senga Falls.
💦 The waterfall plunges about 30 meters with impressive force, showing a different face in every season.
The waterfall’s name comes from the Chinese moon goddess Chang'e, giving it a dreamlike air as if she descended from the moon 🌙✨
🍁 In autumn, the surrounding mountains turn brilliant with fall colors, and the views from the walking paths are truly recommended. There are cafes and souvenir shops near the falls, so it feels great to relax there for a while.
🍷 At Yamanashi Wine Kingdom Senga Falls store, we offer original wines you can only taste here.
A particularly popular choice is the fresh, easy-drinking Delaware new wine. We also carry red and white wines, so you can enjoy them according to your taste 😊

Hello, this is Waraji, a Koshu local cuisine restaurant. 😄 September is drawing near mid-month, but the late summer heat remains strong and the sun is intense. ☀️
Even so, Shosenkyo Gorge is wrapped in clear air, making it a season to enjoy nature’s beauty. Near our shop, the Crystal Fountain sprays glittering mist and offers a cool, refreshing sight. It’s the perfect soothing spot for this time when summer’s traces still linger. 💧✨
At Waraji, our craftsmen carefully prepare each eel by cleaning, steaming, and grilling it until it turns fragrant, and we serve it as a traditional unaju box. The aroma of our secret sauce whets the appetite, and once you taste it, you’ll want it again—our proud specialty.
By the entrance, the seasonal hibiscus (mukuge) blooms beautifully, making it a lovely walk after your meal. With nature, flowers, and delicious food, we hope to refresh both your body and spirit. 🌸
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you.
