Hokuto City is located in the northwest of Yamanashi Prefecture, bordering southern Nagano Prefecture. It is surrounded by mountains such as Mt. Yatsugatake, the Southern Alps and the Okuchichibu mountains, and Mt. Fuji can be seen to the south, making it an attractive place for its magnificent natural scenery. The city also boasts clear streams from the mountains and the most sunshine in Japan. In addition, the setting of the anime, Mukawa-cho in Hokuto City, still has traditional rural scenery, where you can see the majestic figure of Mt. Kaikomagatake, one of Japan’s 100 famous mountains, up close. You can also visit various tourist spots, including Seisenryo Lodge, which also appeared in the anime’s visuals, and Daigaharajuku, a post town on the old Koshu Kaido road.
