8weeks Stay

Tranquil retreat spaces in the Yatsugatake mountains

1000m Elevation, Yatsugatake Mountains

Our 8-Week Journey to This Place

In 2020, we moved from the city with our one-year-old daughter
and fell in love with Fujimi-machi, making the decision to relocate within 8 weeks.

Spending luxurious time surrounded by rich nature,
by the end of 8 weeks, we found ourselves thinking "we want to continue living in this town."

We named it "8weeks" with the hope that our guests would also experience
that feeling of "wanting to stay here."

Rei

Fujimi-machi Resident

I moved to Fujimi from Kanagawa Prefecture in August 2020. I'm raising my 5-year-old daughter in the rich nature of Shinshu while operating 8weeks Stay.

With my husband currently working alone in London, my daughter and I came to Fujimi first. I'd be happy to help with information about recommended spots in the Yatsugatake area, as well as rural relocation and child-rearing. Please feel free to ask anytime!
