Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato Nemba (Traditional Japanese Village)

This is such a charming village. We arrived here on an overcast day and bought tickets before entering the place. I love the koi pond in front, near the ticket booth. The buildings are so interesting and it was great to be able to see a bit of how the houses were back then. Each house has it's own distinctive character. Visitors can walk around the grounds and can even enter some of the houses to check out each structure internally up close! The compound is not that large so it is quite easy to cover the entire grounds in one loop. Since it was an overcast day, we also missed the obligatory Mt Fuji sighting during our visit but we hope to catch a glimpse elsewhere at another time.

A picturesque traditional village that offers an escape from the city to the rich heritage of Japan. There was no queue at the ticketing booth when we arrived at around 1 pm on a weekday. So entrance was smooth and we were able to tour around the area immediately. Each hut offers different experiences and different glimpse from the past. Each hut showcases unique exhibits and activities that offers insights to the way of life back then. It's educational, interactive, qnd fun. The view is breathtaking and the atmosphere is very serene. Sadly, the visibility was poor when we visited, you can only see Mouny Fuji's silhoutte in the background, nonetheless, the village was absolutely breath taking and relaxing.

This is a quaint small museum village, a real experience like taking a trip back in time. We just loved the place. Loved the traditional Japanese old style houses , it’s just amazing to walk around them. Bu the way they have a school inside the village and they teach art and drawing. I was awesome seeing the kids sitting on the Tatami and drawing in a complete silent. Small boutique shops all around the village. To visit you have buy an entrance ticket - 500 Yen. We also took some pictures of Fujisan even it was a quite cloudy day. Please allow approx 2 hours for the visit. A big parking lot is at 150 meters from the entrance.

An incredible and unexpected find. Having been to multiple historic villages including Shirakawago, I would say that Sailo Iyashi-no-Sato Nemba trumps them all. The people are friendlier, each house specialises in different crafts. A personal favourite building housed Takumi-ya which had some incredible examples of Japanese woodworking. I wish I could have brought one of their handcrafted chairs which were only $500 a piece! This is a ridiculously low price when you consider the amount of effort involved in crafting such a masterpiece. There is so much to see and do, I can't wait to visit the place again!

I'm not normally a fan of recreated things as think they are usually realky fake however I didn't get this feeling here. The village is only about 20 years old but is a replica of the old village. Its done really well and amazing to see the thatched work up close. Lots of varied souvenirs at each house plus a few fruit sellers and food stalls at the entrance. Toilets inside too. Plus if youre lucky great views of Fuji. I came here on a bus tour.

If you come to visit here, please go visit and bhought the chicken karaage and fried sweet potatoes at "Kedai Nenek".. It really delicious and cheap.. The shop owner also a generous person.. I just bhought a 2x karaage and 3x fried sweet potatoes, but they have give me a lot of dorayaki as a return.. Really appreciate it.. The Fuji-san view from the village also beautiful and fantastic.. You may enjoy to take a photo with your family.. Also, you may buy a ticket to enter the old traditional Japanese people village and get the experience of how they live it on long2 time ago..

A very beautiful city to walk around, appreciate Mount Fuji, and learn more about Japanese history and culture. Eating some good udon 🍜 is also a must, I guarantee it's delicious there. The view is incredible, especially during the autumn. There's ample parking, but you'll have to walk to see each little house and what it offers 😉

Bought our tickets at the entrance. The traditional setup really makes you feel like you have gone back in time. There are a lot of activities to do, you can easily spend a whole afternoon if you go through all the activities. It was a little bit cloudy so Mt. Fuji was not very clear. There are souvenir shops and food shops.
