Nirasaki

Tucked between the Kamanashi and Shiokawa rivers in northwestern Yamanashi Prefecture, Nirasaki is a city whose character is shaped by broad alluvial terrain beneath mountain slopes. The Kamanashi, a tributary of the Fuji River, has long defined this inland corridor, where orchards and residential districts extend across the basin. Above the city stands the site of Shinpu Castle, built in 1581 by Takeda Katsuyori during the final years of the Takeda clan. Nirasaki is also a practical base for travelling through northern Yamanashi, with rail service on the Chūō Main Line.
