Talk:Yamanashi (prefecture)

Clarifications in "Get in"

In the section Get in / By train, the part starting with From Shizuoka is not clear for me. I don't get what is its goal. Does it recommand to go to Shizuoka to reach the Shinkansen of the south coast, when the visitor want to travel along this axis (which is the main one along Honshū)? And from which part(s) of Yamanashi is it better to join Shizuoka to connect to the Shinkansen? For me it is a bit too generic to understand the recommendation.

• From Shizuoka you can connect to the Shinkansen which can be used to access Osaka and Nagoya, from Nagoya however the quicker option is to ride conventional express trains on the chuo line

In the section Get in / By bus, for the following statement it is not clear for me if the buses or the trains are fewer in number.

• Bus service may be cheaper, but the train is generally much faster and, other than of the route which goes to Shinjuku, are comparably fewer in number.

Basashi, basashimi

Hello Josquius. Instead of "Basashimi", isn't it "Basashi"? I could eat raw horse meat in Kumamoto prefecture and it was called "Basami". According to Wikipedia, "Basami" is present in several prefectures, but maybe you are not referring to the same meal… - Fabimaru (talk) 11:33, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Yamanashi

Swept in from the pub

Yamanashi is a city in Yamanashi Prefecture, but currently Yamanashi links to the prefecture. It should follow the many other cities with the same name as the prefecture (ex: Okayama/Okayama (prefecture), Yamagata/Yamagata (prefecture), Tochigi/Tochigi (prefecture), etc) and Yamanashi should be about the city while the prefecture should be moved to Yamanashi (prefecture). I realize that since Yamanashi (prefecture) is a redlink, I can easily do it myself, but since the Yamanashi article will become its own city article, I want to make sure that an admin is not required to ensure attribution is not lost. Does something need to be done before moving the page? ChubbyWimbus (talk) 12:57, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

In this case no. You can do the move, which keeps the existing history in the prefecture page. Then go back to the what will then be a redirect page an simply overwrite the redirect with a city template to start work on the city article. --Traveler100 (talk) 17:22, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

I just see this discussion, and it is pure coincidence that just a few hours ago I redirected the empty Yamanashi article to Yamanashi prefecture. Yamanashi City is really just a small part of the wide city of Kofu (maybe not legally but in the mind of most people). Yamanashi City/Koshu/Fuefuki should all be covered in the Kofu article, until it becomes big enough that splitting starts making sense. Cheers! Syced (talk) 07:50, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

To do: Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan, world's oldest hotel, and a Hayakawa article

I'd like to make a note of a suggestion for myself or another editor to come back to. In the town of Hayakawa, there is Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan. This is apparently the world's oldest continually operating hotel, in operation since 705 AD. It would be cool for Wikivoyage to include a listing for the world's oldest hotel. More information at the official Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan website, Wikipedia's Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan, and travel article Welcome to the world’s oldest hotel in the world. Adding a sleep listing for this hotel requires also creating a destination article for Hayakawa. JimDeLaHunt (talk) 06:34, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
