Fujisan(Mt. Fuji) from Seisenryo, Kiyosato.
I don't have so many friends.-maybe around 10 or something like that. Instead all of them are really good friends and we often get in touch with each other by email or SNS. Why not face to face? Because most of them do not live in Tokyo.
My friend and I went to Yamanashi prefecture to visit my friend that we met at university. She moved to Yamanashi with her husband in 2009 after they got married. She has worked as proofreader and her husband is a farmer.
It took only 2 hours (and only 4000 JPY for a return ticket) by bus from Tokyo to Yamanashi. We stayed at a small hotel (Auberge） in Kiyosato. We stuffed with a lot of tasty food and wine and talked until late at night.
On the day 2, we drove to Hakushu, where Suntory has its distillery. Anyone can join a tour in the distillery for free, and of course, we can have "whiskey tasting" at last. Well, it whiskey in their drink is really thin that I could hardly taste whiskey, but still, it is for free and it's pretty interesting to see how whiskey is made.
In Hakushu there are also some sake breweries and my friend took us one of them, Shichiken. They have tasting counter and it only costs 30JPY to get a small glass of Sake. They have a restaurant beside the shop. We had lunch and Japanese sake there. The restaurant's atmosphere is really nice, and I believe anyone likes it.
