Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba

This reconstructed thatched-roof village on the shore of Lake Saiko recreates the hamlet destroyed by a 1966 typhoon. Twenty kayabuki houses now function as craft workshops, galleries, and a local cuisine restaurant, all framed by Mount Fuji across the lake. Try indigo dyeing, incense making, or simply sit on the engawa veranda of a restored farmhouse and absorb the view.
