Otsuki, Mountain gateway city in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.

Otsuki stretches across valleys between Mount Fuji and the Okuchichibu Mountains, forming a natural passage through central Japan's mountainous terrain.

The establishment of Otsuki as a city in 1954 marked its transformation from a collection of rural settlements into a consolidated administrative region.

The residents of Otsuki maintain traditional seasonal festivals that incorporate elements of mountain worship and agricultural celebrations throughout the year.

The JR Chuo Main Line and Fujikyuko Line intersect at Otsuki Station, providing direct transportation connections to Tokyo and Mount Fuji areas.

The city functions as a water source protection area, managing several reservoirs that supply fresh mountain water to Tokyo's metropolitan region.
