Otsuki

Otsuki (大月市 Ōtsuki-shi) is a small city in Yamanashi Prefecture.

Understand
It is a mix of small town, light local industry (including a Tokyo Electric Power's hydroelectric plant) and expensive bedroom community. Most of its people are concentrated in the river valley through which the Chuo main line and expressway run. The river gorge is very scenic, but the primary attractions are the mountains which form the majority of Otsuki-shi. Shopkeepers have some English, but the vast majority of the signage and conversation is in Japanese.

Tourist information site
The local tourist association has a Japanese-only guide site with integrated Google Translate.
