about us
豊かな自然に囲まれた100年の歴史を持つ庄屋屋敷は、5年間に渡るセフルリノベーションの末に「森暮らし研究所」として生まれ変わりました。
林野庁や台湾政府の協力のもと、若者のための実践教育の場として、大人のための里山暮らし体験の場として成長を続けています。
A 100-year-old village headman's house surrounded by rich nature was reborn as the “Forest Living Institute” after five years of self-renovation.
With the cooperation of Japanese and Taiwanese government, it became a place for practical education and a place to experience new way of living in forest-side.
Come and join us!
