About this experience
Discover the Charm of Nenba Village and Jinba Falls
Experience the beauty of old Japan at Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato Nenba, a restored thatched-roof village near Mt. Fuji. Each season brings unique charm: cherry blossoms in spring, cool breezes in summer, brilliant foliage in autumn, and snowy serenity in winter. Enjoy local crafts, nature views, and the peaceful atmosphere of a traditional mountain village.
Just a short trip away, Jinba Falls offers a quiet escape into nature. Named after samurai leader Minamoto no Yoritomo, who once camped nearby, this small waterfall is perfect for cooling off on a hot day. In late August, the local Jinba Falls Festival features music, food, and a chance to wade into the clear stream.
Together, these two spots reveal the timeless beauty and gentle spirit of Japan’s countryside—a perfect getaway for those seeking culture, nature, and calm.
