About
About Ōtsuki
Ōtsuki (大月市, Ōtsuki-shi) is a city located in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. As of 1 October 2023, the city had an estimated population of 21,835 in 10207 households, and a population density of 86 persons per km2.
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. The local tourist association has a Japanese-only guide site with integrated Google Translate.
