One part of our work is organic
No
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
持続可能な生活、薪ストーブや薪ボイラーを使ったオフグリッドな生活を実践している。太陽光も利用したり、自家発電で電気等は賄っています。山の水源から水を引いて、生活用水は賄っている。可燃ゴミは燃料にし、生ゴミはコンポストの肥料にしたり、鶏の餌になったりする。利用できるものは長く利用することを心がけています。
We practice sustainable living and off-grid living with wood stoves and wood boilers. They also use solar power and provide their own electricity and other needs. Water is supplied for daily use by water from mountain sources. Combustible garbage is used as fuel, and food scraps are used as compost fertilizer or chicken feed. We try to use whatever is available for a long time.

環境に配慮した森林作業道作りから、伐採、製材、伝統的木造建築まで、木に関わること全てを同じ敷地で小規模で行っている全国でも珍しい場所です。そうしたことを学びたい人には実りが多いはずです。生活はエネルギー（太陽光と薪）と水を自給しており、オフグリッドな暮らしも学べます。食べ物は主に米と卵を自給しており、そのほかは忙しく多くはできていませんが、無理のないペースで少しづつ自給自足の範囲を増やしていっています。
別の事業で、フリースクールなんかもやろうとしているので、子供が好きな方は大歓迎です。（ホストの家にも小さい子がいます）
This place is rare in the country in that everything related to wood is done on a small scale on the same site, from building environmentally considerate forest work paths to logging, sawing, and traditional Japanese wooden construction. It should be fruitful for those who want to learn about such things. The lifestyle is self-sufficient in energy (solar and firewood) and water, and you can also learn about off-grid living. We are mainly self-sufficient in rice and eggs, and although we are too busy to do much else, we are increasing our self-sufficiency little by little at a comfortable pace.
We are also planning to start a free school as another project, so those who love children are welcome. (We have also a small child in the host's home.)
WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
長期長期滞在、1人での滞在希望の方、農作業・伝統軸組構法の大工仕事、製材の助手・チェーンソー使える方を優先させていただきます。
We will prioritize those who are interested in a longer stay, those who are traveling alone, and especially those who can help with farm work, Japanese traditional architecture and lumber assistant, or using a chainsaw.
