A summer holiday of small joys: a stay-at-home mother's diary

Basics
- Fee:Coming into the grounds, the shops and the eating areas costs nothing. Two things are paid separately. The athletic field 'Saiboku no Mori' is ¥300 for adults and ¥150 for children on weekdays, ¥400 and ¥200 at weekends and on holidays, free for pre-school children, and you can go in and out as often as you like the same day. The hot spring Kachofugetsu is ¥1,080 for adults (junior high and up) and ¥650 for children aged 3 to 12 on weekdays, ¥1,280 and ¥750 at weekends and on holidays. Long holidays and the new-year period can carry special prices.■■■
- Hours:Each part of the grounds keeps its own hours. The meat shop, the cafeteria and the farm-produce stand run 9:00-18:30, the Kitchen and the fruit-and-juice bar 10:00-17:00, and Restaurant SAIBOKU 11:00-19:00 with last orders at 18:30. All of these close on Wednesdays, except that public-holiday Wednesdays open as usual and July and December run without a closing day. The athletic field opens 9:00-17:00 from March to November and 9:00-16:00 from December to February, with last entry an hour before closing, and it also closes on Wednesdays. The hot spring works to a different rhythm: 10:00-22:00 with last entry at 21:00, closed one Tuesday a month. Hours and closing days can change with the weather.■
- Time needed:180 min
- Booking:Nothing needs booking to shop, eat at the counters or use the athletic field. Restaurant SAIBOKU takes reservations only for groups of eight adults or more, and only if you call at least four days ahead on 042-985-4272 - same-day and email reservations are not accepted. On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays the restaurant hands out numbered tickets from 30 minutes before opening.■Official booking site ↗

It began in 1946 as a small farm and now breeds, raises, processes and sells its own pork. The meat shop is the company's largest, and its delicatessen counter can sell over 2,000 croquettes and minced-pork cutlets on a busy day. Saiboku no Mori is a lawn with ten kinds of climbing frames and a 350-metre path, plus a smaller wooden set for young children. The herd moved to Yamanashi in 2002, and a hot spring found on the old pasture became a day bathhouse in 2004.

| Indoor / outdoor | Indoor & outdoor | The shops, the restaurants and the hot spring are indoors. Saiboku no Mori - the lawn and the athletic frames - is outdoors and can close at no notice in bad weather. The Kitchen has both indoor and outdoor terrace seats on its second floor. | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | saiboku.co.jpsaiboku.co.jp |

In Saiboku no Mori you are encouraged to bring what you bought at the Kitchen, the cafeteria or the bakery inside the meat shop and picnic on the lawn. The hot spring Kachofugetsu refuses food and drink brought in from outside, on health-authority instruction. | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | saiboku.co.jpsaiboku.co.jp |
