Saiko 'Iyashi no sato NENBA'
Traditional Japanese Scenery, Thatched Roofs and Mt. Fuji
4.03
3
The Nenba area, once home to rows of thatched-roof buildings, is located along the shore of Lake Saiko, overlooking Mt. Fuji and Aokigahara Forest. However, there was terrible damage from the typhoon of 1966, which destroyed most of the town.
“Saiyo ‘Iyashi no Sato NENBA’” was opened in 2006 in an attempt to restore the thatched roof village, part of Japan’s traditional scenery.
Around 20 thatched-roof houses have been restored, recreating the old rural and peaceful landscape.
Each of the buildings is home to something like a restaurant, souvenir shop, hands-on experience class, and more, where you can enjoy activities while looking out over Mt. Fuji.

我造訪過白川鄉合掌村，到了西湖根場雖然規模比起合掌村小了許多，但是少了人潮喧鬧，享受著古樸寧靜的環境，另一邊富士山美景盡收眼底美不勝收，宛如仙境般一樣的感覺
