We are Storytellers
We are here to share the story of unique cultures, century-old traditions and life
in harmony with beautiful nature in Nagano and Gifu which have been inherited for thousands of years.
Sustainable for Future
Today, many rural communities are facing serious challenges
such as a declining birthrate, aging population, and economic decline.
Our hometowns are one of the disappearing cities and it may be literally gone from a map in 20 years.
We would like many people from all over the world to visit here so that
we can preserve the traditional culture and beautiful natural resources of Planet Japan we love.
