Otsuki, Mountain gateway city in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.
Otsuki is a city in Yamanashi Prefecture that stretches across valleys between Mount Fuji and the Okuchichibu Mountains. It forms a natural passage through central Japan's mountainous terrain.
The city was established in 1954 through the consolidation of several rural settlements into a single administrative region. This merger transformed scattered mountain villages into an organized urban center.
The local communities hold seasonal celebrations throughout the year that blend mountain worship traditions with agricultural rituals tied to the land. These gatherings shape how residents connect with their mountainous surroundings today.
The JR Chuo Main Line and Fujikyuko Line meet at Otsuki Station, linking the city directly to Tokyo and Mount Fuji areas. From here, you can easily reach nearby natural attractions and popular destinations.
The area serves as a water protection zone with several reservoirs that supply fresh mountain water to Tokyo's metropolitan region. These reservoirs play a vital role in providing water to Japan's largest city.
