The region is full of surprises, and no one style defines its wines.
But walk through the field in summer, and the ground is still squishy with rain. Abundant grass between the rows hides all manner of insects, and the air is so thick with butterflies that Ikeno brushes them away like pests.

While Yamanashi has started to gain recognition as a wine region, it is still largely unknown to foreigners, and it can be difficult to navigate on your own. The region is relatively large, encompassing 1,723 square miles to the west of Tokyo Prefecture, and includes numerous cities, towns, and sub-regions. Wineries can be hours apart, and very few actually offer tasting rooms for visitors.
Some wineries are built in a traditional Japanese style, with sliding screens and tatami mats, while others create a faux-European feel to give visitors a sense that they’ve stepped out of Japan for a day. At Risonare Yatsugatake, one of the area’s largest resorts, restaurants are laid out along a walking street designed to look like an idealized version of a French town with farm stands along the sides.
After a couple days of tasting wines from various Yamanashi wineries, one thing becomes clear: the region is full of surprises, and no one style defines its wines.For an introduction to Yamanashi’s wines, head to this tasting room inside a wine-themed resort. Part of a small wine shop, this tasting room offers a variety of wines from across the region—including many from small vineyards that don’t have their own tasting rooms.
