MINAMI-ALPS, Yamanashi: Many people are coming to see a soon-to-open giant Costco in Minami-Alps city in Japan’s Yamanashi prefecture, as from nearby, the view makes it look like Mount Fuji is perched on the building.
An area at the adjacent Fumotto Minami-Alps shopping and entertainment complex has also become popular with visitors because of its eye-catching view of the US-based retail store crowned by Japan’s highest mountain.
