Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba

Twenty-one thatched-roof buildings border Lake Sai, with Mount Fuji rising in the background, forming a restored mountain village.

The original village suffered complete destruction in a 1966 typhoon, leading to its reconstruction and reopening as a cultural museum in 2006.

Visitors at Iyashi no Sato participate in traditional crafts including pottery, needlework, and incense-making inside authentic thatched-roof houses.

The museum opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00 between March and November, with reduced hours from December to February, offering parking facilities.

Each building houses different activities, from local cuisine preparation to traditional clothing demonstrations, maintaining the customs of ancient Japanese villages.
