We have an organic attitude of sorts, but we do not go out of our way to be organic or alternative, rather, we do what suits us at the time
東北の被災地で支援活動や復興のボランティア活動をしている、菜の花を栽培して菜種油を作っている。タバコは吸わない、テレビは見ない、利用できるものは長く使用している、物をリサイクルしている。エネルギー自給自足できるエコハウスを作っておりカフェにする予定。山や海が近いので山やシーカヤックなどアウトドアをしてます。そのエコハウスで各種ワークショップやイベントをやっている。生産したものを県内の露店マーケットなどで販売などもします。
I volunteer and provide support for the revival of the northeastern stricken area by cultivating rapeseed flowers (Brassica napus) and making rapeseed oil. We don't watch TV, and we do not smoke. We try to use everything for as long as possible and recycle what cannot be reused anymore. I am making a self-sufficient eco-house, which will be opened as a cafe. Since the nearby region has many mountains and access to the sea, I do many outdoor activities, such as trekking and kayaking in the sea. I also do various workshops and events in the eco-house, and sell my products in the prefecture's regional fresh market.

東日本大地震をきっかけに東北で震災ボランティアを始めたことがきっかけで岩手で住むようになりました。ガソリンスタンドに寄らないでも走るエコカーを自作、被災地でエコハウスを作り、農業をやり、漁業、林業などの手伝い、コンサートやイベントなどのサポートなどをしています。私のエコハウスでは、電力を自分で作り、車の燃料も自分で作り自給自足しています。

地球の未来を考え、暮らし方やエネルギー、環境を模索しています。自然を大切に豊かな暮らしを作っていきたいと思います。お金に振り回されず、地球と共に暖かい生活を目指したいと思いますので、旅が好きで、人が好き、自然に関心にある方は大歓迎です。
I decided to live in Iwate after volunteering for the earthquake disaster relief program post-Great East Japan Earthquake in Tohoku. I created, by myself, an eco-car that does not require stopping at any gas station; currently I am building an eco-house at a stricken area, organising events such as concerts, providing support to nearby fisheries and forestry-related companies, and doing agricultural work in the area. In my eco-house, I have a full self-sufficient lifestyle by making both my own electricity and my own car fuel.

I think about Earth's future, its environment, and how we should explore its energy for our sustainable living; in fact, it's my greatest wish to make a fulfilling living by tending to nature. As my goal is to help support planet Earth with kindness and responsibility - and without being motivated by money - we welcome those who like traveling, those who like being around people and those who have an interest in nature.

We aim to create a peaceful and sustainable life in a relatively warm area (Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture) facing the Sanriku Coast in Tohoku Iwate, making fields, rice fields, eco-houses and utilizing natural renewable energy. The work is mainly agriculture, preparing for the opening of the cafe, and please help with carpentry. (I would like someone with experience in DIY as much as possible.)

Both the mountain and the river are surrounded by a wonderful location where you can feel the four seasons facing Ria's coast in the environment. Also, we are making energy for ourselves and household electricity and car fuel. We are also expanding the panels for photovoltaic power generation and making Tiny House and share-house. For long-term residents, you can spend time with local people, enjoy trekking and sea kayaking. I am looking for a person who can make new future together and enjoy it. Let's all come and enjoy the splendor of the area together.

The recruitment period is from November 6th to November 10th and from November 15th to November 22nd, and we are urgently recruiting people who can stay for 3 to 4 nights.
