What about everyday life in Yamanashi?

Surrounded by steep mountain slopes, Yamanashi (also known as “Kai no Kuni”) is known for the uniqueness of its regional culture and the strong and hardworking character of its people. Historically speaking, it is in their nature to avoid excess. They hold a strong sense of community, but at the same time lean towards introversion in their conduct. For better or for worse, it is often said that they dislike standing out and mobilizing into large groups. However, with present day internationalization bringing in people from all around the world, the lifestyle of the prefecture is transforming and becoming more diverse.
