Guest House

Guests are welcome to stay with us at the Solar Cafe and Farm on the foot of Mt.Fuji, enjoy home cooked meals, help on our farm and explore the amazing hiking trails around nearby Lake Saiko and the surrounding Aokigahara Forest.

Our two tatami rooms are simple but cozy, and if you would like a more ‘natural’ experience, we also have a treehouse and tipi for camping. We welcome families with children, pets, groups and events. We aim to be self-sufficient and our only source of water is gathering rainfall so our facilities are quite rustic with a solar shower (in season) and composting toilet. Full bathing facilities are nearby at Yurari Onsen Hot Springs which is a 20 minute walk from the cafe and farm, with a wide variety of outdoor baths, herb baths, sauna, traditional Japanese wooden bath, massage, private baths for couples and families, etc.

The Farm Volunteer program lets you get your hands in the dirt and learn a little about our farming methods. Volunteer for a morning or afternoon in our fields and we provide lunch or dinner at no charge. Farm Guests can rent a room or camp at our regular rates, and both long-term and short-term visits are welcome.

Outdoor Activities: Within walking distance there are many natural features to experience. The Narusawa Ice Caves and Wind Caves are an easy 15-minute hike from the cafe through the Aokigahara Lava Forest. Lake Saiko is a nice half-day hike and great for swimming in the summer. Mt Koyodai just behind the farm is an easy 1-hour hike with a lookout point on top from which you can view Fuji-san and 3 of the 5 Lakes.We have two horse riding stables within walking distance. At Kiso Uma Ranch you can ride traditional Japanese horses through the forest. A 40 minute guided tour is about 3000yen. Paddy Field is another ranch with thoroughbred horses and full riding lessons available.

NOTES * We are located at 1000m elevation so night can be quite chilly. The Treehouse and Tipi are semi-open and best recommended for summer visits.

** We provide sheets and blankets but recommend people with allergies bring their own pillow cases as the farm can be a bit dusty.

***Pets are allowed.

**** We have no bath on-site (only a solar shower). Guests can walk to Yurari Onsen Hot Springs which is a 20 minute walk and costs Y1000 -Y1200.
