Popular Eco-Village "Guesthouse with a Beautiful View”

Search By

On a small mountain at the entrance of the Amakusa Islands in Kumamoto Prefecture, about 30 residents are creating a next-generation eco-village on about 1,000 square meters, aiming for a life where they can live happily even if water, gas, electricity, politics, and economy are stopped.

It is one of the rare eco-villages in Japan where people build a village by themselves. In the 10 years since its opening, many people from Japan and overseas have visited the village, looking for ideas how to spend a fulfilling life.

”Permaculture design” is a design for building "highly sustainable ecosystems and cultures”. It is the act of gathering as much information as possible about everything (climate, land, climate, people, plants, animals, fungi, inorganic matter, and structures) that make up the themed place, discovering their functions and connections, and designing relationships that create synergy autonomously. By learning and gaining experience through the embodiment of the design, and through repeated improvements, we will be able to build and maintain that design as our own. Only then will it become a highly sustainable ecosystem and culture. By engaging the people who live there, the design will evolve at an accelerated pace, constantly being optimized to become a highly sustainable community.
