Hokuto, Yamanashi, Japan｜チームシェルパ

Visited during my trip to Japan in October 2022. We used it at the cafe during the day and stayed overnight. We have an interesting couple, the wife is a cafe manager and the husband is a travel writer. You can stay at a traveler's hut for 10 yen x the displacement of your motorcycle. Although there is an additional charge, we recommend a pit-style dwelling! It was a unique experience to have a bonfire indoors. There is also a Goemon bath, where you can experience a little bit of the Jomon period.

I stopped by with my three children. You will be greeted by Charlie (monument to the cow). Ordered dessert and drinks. The price is reasonable, and the chibi pudding and iced coffee are delicious. Lively children who seem to be neighbors, hammocks in the stream, building a dam on the river, throwing rocks away and catching river crabs... We spent a time that parents enjoyed playing more than children. In addition to the cafe menu, we also sell candy, beigoma, books, and a wide variety of tenugui towels. The tenugui skirt was also cool and nice. Above all, the owner's wonderful personality. Beautiful cat. Customers who seem to be neighbors in the store also tell us various things. After returning home, while taking care of the crabs they caught, the children asked, "When are we going next?!" Please allow me to bother you again.

It's a comfortable place. The food was mainly made with local vegetables and was very delicious! Taking a chair to the stream that flows right next to it and drinking chai while cooling your feet in the clear stream is an impressive experience. We also have lots of Sherpa Saito's books and tools!
