explanation: Yamanashi prefecture occupies the eastern part of Chubu region, adjacent to Tokyo from west. Its surface is 4,463 km2 and the population 0.8 million. The prefectural office is at Kofu City. Yamanashi is surrounded by high mountains which attract may tourists. Traditionally, the rice culture is prosperous but the framers cultivate more and more fruits for citizens of Tokyo. Now the government is experimenting magnetic levitation trains in the eastern region.
