Kiyosato Highland

A highland resort area at the foot of the Yatsugatake mountain range, sitting at an elevation of 1,200 meters. Once a post-war agricultural settlement, Kiyosato transformed into a popular retreat known for its clean mountain air, pastoral landscapes, and panoramic views of Mount Fuji on clear days. The area features nature trails through meadows and forests, nearby whisky distilleries, and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. In summer, fields of wildflowers blanket the hillsides while families enjoy outdoor activities and farm experiences. Winter brings crisp skies ideal for stargazing. The highland's cool climate also supports dairy farming, making fresh milk soft-serve and cheese a local specialty.
