Uenohara

Uenohara lies along the Katsura River valley, where wooded hills and cultivated slopes shape eastern Yamanashi before the landscape continues toward Kanagawa Prefecture. The city occupies a transitional stretch between the Kanto plain and the mountains of inland Japan, with rail and road routes following the valley. Uenohara-juku was a post station on the historic Kōshū Kaidō, the highway that connected Edo with Kai Province. That role still gives the town a sense of passage and connection rather than isolation.
