Bringing together a tranquil town and cultural lifestyle
In Tokyo's old neighborhoods of Yanaka, Taito-ku and the surrounding area in Tokyo, the tradition of helping one’s neighbors lives on. What has supported this is their effort as a community to be attentive to the surrounding houses and streets. Even the plants lining the street give residents a reason to stop and talk. In today’s world of excess privacy, people the world over are unhappy because they are disconnected from their neighbors. Our organization strives to revitalize the culture of life in the old houses and towns and the wisdom to live with each other and various neighbors throughout the world.
