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.)
