Fluffy Fuji Girl

A reliable store leader who works hard to develop original products that convey the charm of the region. His soft atmosphere facilitates smooth communication with companies. His light footwork is also attractive, as he will stop by on a whim if he finds information on a great item or place. When it comes to introducing stores and companies that have connections with HOSHINOYA, there is no one better to go out on the side!

HOSHINOYA Fuji: Glamping in the hills, where you never know what tomorrow will bring. The flames of a campfire are a magical moment that captures the heart. Enjoy a dynamic meal and relax on a terrace floating in the trees. We have prepared a glamorous stay in an interesting Guest room where you will feel as if you are in a scope.

What do you recommend (place, Experience, food) in Kawaguchiko area?: This is "Matsuyama Yushi Fuji Kawaguchiko Factory. Matsuyama Oil and Fat mainly produces soap and skin care products, and HOSHINOYA Fuji also carries their products as amenities in the rooms.
Fuji Kawaguchiko Factory is not only a factory, but also a store where you can purchase their products. I love the space where you are surrounded by a good smell and many wonderful products are lined up the moment you enter.

Please sneak in some hole-in-the-wall places that you know because you live there.: The BOOKCAFE "TABiLiON" is located in a residential area in the Kodate district of Kawaguchiko. Books and magazines are lined up on large bookshelves, all of which you will want to read. In addition, the coffee, tea, and light meals are very tasty, and it is a wonderful space.
It is fun to read a book slowly by yourself or with friends while talking and reading magazines.

I also make my own coffee and tea and read books slowly.

As for books, I take with me an essay written by my favorite author, Yataro Matsuura, and I take another look at what is important in life.
As for music, I will bring a music player with a lot of music, because there are songs that I like to listen to according to the scenery I see.
