Readme before you journey
In the summer of Japan, there are still interesting tourist attractions that are not crowded. I had the opportunity to travel to Lake Kawaguchiko for sightseeing and relaxation, with a ticket for a sightseeing bus around Lake Saiko. To get to the Iyashi no Sato Village Museum (Iyashi no Sato いやしの里), I started from Kawaguchiko Station, where there are clear signs.

Biography
Iyashi no Sato: A Restored Village Museum
The Iyashi no Sato Museum, located on the former site of a farming village on the western shore of Lake Saiko, offers a glimpse into Japan's traditional rural life. Originally devastated by a typhoon in 1966, the village lay dormant for four decades before being meticulously restored to its original state. Today, it stands as an open-air museum, inviting visitors to explore its rich cultural heritage.
The museum showcases traditional Japanese architecture, with thatched-roof houses and workshops demonstrating various crafts. Visitors can witness the art of pottery making, woodcarving, and weaving, and even try their hand at these ancient skills. The museum also offers a chance to purchase handcrafted souvenirs, preserving the legacy of these time-honored traditions.
Iyashi no Sato provides a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience the charm of a bygone era. It serves as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of preserving cultural heritage.
Nestled within the village are over 20 houses transformed into shops, restaurants, museums, and galleries. Each specializes in a unique traditional craft, such as pottery, incense making, and weaving. Visitors can also participate in hands-on experiences like making washi paper, charcoal, and soba noodles.
The entrance is lush and green.
The museum section includes the Watanabe House, which showcases the daily lives of farmers who once lived in the area. The Erosion and Sediment Control Museum explains the causes of landslides that devastated the village and the techniques used to prevent such disasters.
The remaining houses will be transformed into art galleries showcasing local artwork, craft shops, and portrait photography studios. Tourists can try on traditional kimonos or samurai armor and have their photos taken as souvenirs (for a small fee). Additionally, restaurants will be located around the village.
