My daughter has an opportunity to go to Kai, Yamanashi, Japan next summer and I am having a hard time finding out anything about the city. Anyone have a good website that I could find information or pictures about the city of Kai?

The 2 web sites I found are:
http://www.pref.yamanashi.jp/global_net/index.jsp (multi-lingual)
http://www.city.kai.yamanashi.jp/index2.html (Japanese only).
Kai is just west of Kofu, the capital city of Yamanashi prefecture, in the US we would say it's a suburb. It is about a few hours south of Nagano, where the Olympics were held, and a little northwest of Mount Fuji.
It is about 2 hours from central Tokyo by Express Train (1 hour 30 minutes to Tofu, then about 20 minutes to Kai City.
It is a beautiful area, hilly and with many lakes and hot springs (called "Onsen" in Japan).
Japan is the safest country in the world, and a friendly place to visit. Your daughter should have a great time. She should study Japanese before she goes. Everyone will want to practice their English with her (all Japanese students take 6 years of compulsory English study). However, she should begin learning the language to gain a little insight into the culture.
Have a nice time.

Kai city is in the basin-shaped valley (howe).
Green arrow is the Kai city hall.

3-4 inches to the right on this map, you will see the Tokyo gulf.
The Kofu city, the capital of Yamanashi pref, is next to the Kai city.
I am not sure what kind of info you are looking for.
About tourism, please check this site.
