Kosuge

Few communities in Yamanashi Prefecture have a history as closely tied to mountain settlement and forestry as Kosuge. Set in the upper Tama River basin, this small village occupies steep, heavily wooded country on the prefecture’s northeastern edge, close to the Tokyo metropolitan boundary. The Kosuge River runs through its valley before joining the Tama system near Lake Okutama, giving the settlement its defining geography. Forest roads, streamside farms and walking routes reflect a rural landscape shaped by the surrounding mountains. Kosuge no Yu, the village’s hot-spring bathing facility, adds a distinctly local stop.
