At YAKKO, visitors can enjoy a hands-on sushi-making experience near Mount Fuji, just an eight-minute walk from Shimoyoshida Station and close to Chureito Pagoda and Arakurayama Sengen Park. This class lets participants become sushi chefs and make Koshu Sushi, a Yamanashi speciality known for its sweet soya glaze. Guided by local chefs, guests will master techniques they can recreate at home while learning about traditional Japanese cuisine. They will also explore Yamanashi’s food culture and history, discovering how local ingredients and culinary traditions have evolved. The experience includes a sake pairing session, where guests can taste local varieties and learn how they complement sushi. Vegetarian options are available upon request, making it inclusive for all. Set against the backdrop of Mount Fuji, this experience blends cultural immersion with culinary skills. Whether visiting Chureito Pagoda, exploring Arakurayama Sengen Park, or staying in Kawaguchiko, YAKKO offers a unique way to enjoy Japan’s food culture. It is also an excellent indoor activity when Mount Fuji is hidden by clouds, ensuring a memorable visit in any weather.
