🗺️ West Lake Healing Village Genba西湖いやしの里根場

At the lakeside of Lake Saiko, where one can gaze at Mount Fuji and the Aokigahara Forest, there is a place called "Nemba." Originally, there was a whole row of thatched-roof houses here, but after being devastated by a typhoon in 1966, the entire settlement was nearly lost. To revive the traditional thatched-roof village of Japan's original scenery, "Saiko Healing Village Nemba" opened in 2006. About 20 thatched-roof houses have been restored, recreating the rural landscape of that time. Each building has a different theme, including restaurants, souvenir and local product shops, and experience classrooms, allowing visitors to spend a relaxing and healing time while enjoying the view of Mount Fuji.

Restored about 20 thatched roofs. Enjoy the original scenery of Japan, where you can appreciate the beauty of Mount Fuji and the four seasons. Experience traditional crafts and try on a kimono (reservation required in advance). Best viewing period for weeping cherry blossoms: mid-April to early May each year. Best viewing period for maple leaves: late October to mid-November each year.
