[Takayama Village] Sat, Nov 28: Takayama Living Experience - Preparing for Satoyama Winter with Locals

About this event

Surrounded on all sides by mountains, Takayama Village in Gunma Prefecture is a small village featuring idyllic rural scenery and satoyama nature. For those who want to live in a nature-rich location or are interested in rural life but wonder what daily living is actually like, the exchange event "Takayama Living Experience" will be held to allow people to experience life in Takayama Village. On the day, in addition to an introduction to the village and a tour of relocation trial housing, participants can try making New Year decorations using straw while learning from local residents. A crafts corner is also provided for children. At lunchtime, guests can enjoy interacting with locals and former relocators over meals prepared by local mothers. It is an opportunity to visit in person and experience not only housing and employment—matters of concern when choosing a relocation destination—but also what kind of people live there and what everyday life looks like. In Takayama Village, the construction of municipal apartments targeting child-rearing families and younger generations is also planned; welcome are those actively considering relocation as well as those who simply want to consider rural living in the future. Would you like to take a peek into life in Takayama Village?
