Transform the small town of empty houses at the foot of Mount Fuji based on old houses. HostelSARUYA

Sharing Mount Fuji is the guardian here. In Fuji Yoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, you can feel the majestic, magnificent, obscure, and changeable mountains all the time. No matter where you are, you can always feel the mountain nearby no matter where you are. At first, I always felt like I was in the curtain of the giant Mount Fuji, the mountain was too close and too clear, but when the vision got used to the shadow of the mountain, whenever I caught a glimpse of the hill not far away, it was accompanied by peace of mind.

The water flowing from Mount Fuji to the town once created an once-glorious textile industry. Clean, impurity-free water is an important resource when dyeing and weaving. The "Jia Fei silk" high-grade satin produced here was once a popular local specialty. Everyone says that more than 20 or 30 years ago, this is a small town where textile looms can be heard everywhere.
