1. A power supply facility that is configured to be housed underground, comprising:
a light emitting device configured to emit light to a space above the ground; and
a control device configured to:
control the light emitting device, wherein the control device causes a first light emission mode of the light emitting device when the power supply facility is available and a second light emission mode of the light emitting device when the power supply facility is not available, wherein the first light emission mode and the second light emission mode are different from each other;
switch the power supply facility between a housed state in which the power supply facility is housed underground and an exposed state in which the power supply facility is exposed above ground;
charge a vehicle when the power supply facility is in the exposed state;
control the light emitting device in the first light emission mode, when (i) the power supply facility is in the housed state and (ii) the power supply facility is not reserved, or the power supply facility is reserved and a current time is earlier than a reference time, wherein a reference time is a predetermined time prior to a start time of a reserved period of the power supply facility;
control the light emitting device in the second light emission mode, when (i) the power supply facility is in the housed state and (ii) is reserved, and (iii) the current time is in a time period between the reference time and the start time; and
control the power supply facility to start moving from the housed state to the exposed state at the reference time.
