A family-oriented experience program supervised by Kodomo BEAMS will be held in Yamanashi Prefecture for a limited time starting Saturday, March 7, 2026.
Minamiyamanashi is an area that combines the five southern towns of Yamanashi Prefecture (Ichikawamisato, Hayakawa, Minobu, Nanbu, and Fujikawa) with the city of Minami-Alps. This region, rich in nature and unique culture, will be the setting for two special programs overseen by Kodomo BEAMS, as well as a new food experience in Minamiyamanashi called "Yama-yaki," where you can savor the bounty of the mountains over an open flame.
Explore the authentic sounds of the forest with your family, experience traditional washi paper, and savor local mountain produce over a charcoal fire. Experience a new style of travel that allows you to experience the richness of southern Yamanashi with all five senses.

Yamayaki: A new food experience originating from southern Yamanashi
"Yamayaki" is a new dining experience originating from southern Yamanashi, where mountain delicacies grown in Yamanashi's rich natural environment are grilled over charcoal with local seasonings. The main attraction is the thick, fleshy "log-grown shiitake mushrooms" that southern Yamanashi is proud of. Guests can also sample local ingredients, including local and wild vegetables such as Otsuka carrots and bamboo shoots, Yamanashi Prefecture's original brand fish "Fujinosuke," and wild game. Savor the natural flavor of the ingredients, accented with the traditional spicy seasoning "suridane" and local miso.

About the project to promote the new appeal of Minamiyamanashi
The project to promote the new charms of Minami Yamanashi is a project that Yamanashi Prefecture has commissioned to BEAMS CREATIVE Inc. from 2024, and is working in collaboration with the five towns of Kyonan (Ichikawamisato, Hayakawa, Minobu, Nanbu, and Fujikawa) and the Minami Yamanashi area of Minami Alps City to promote the unknown charms of the region.
At the Fujikawa Roadside Station (Fujikawa Town, Minamikoma District, Yamanashi Prefecture), the base of this project, BEAMS has set up a permanent corner called MINAMI YAMANASHI INFORMATION, which introduces local specialties and tourist spots selected from its own unique perspective. In addition, in March 2025, a special website was launched that delves into the attractive people, places, and things of Minami Yamanashi.
Now in its second year, the event will take a step further than its previous information dissemination efforts, aiming to further expand the fan base of Minami Yamanashi through its newly produced food experience "Yamayaki," which will provide "experiential content" that allows visitors to experience the local nature and culture firsthand.
