『2018年7月の西日本豪雨。
隣県でおこった天災に唖然としながらも、少しでもこまっている人の手助けができればと、人生初のボランティアに参加しました。

そこでお世話になった岡山県和気郡のボランティアチーム「チームはるはる」ここでの出会いが僕の人生が一変しました。

本当に素晴らしい活動しているのでお店に活動記録を掲載しようと思っています。

チームはるはるで知り合った知人が「ポこムーチョ」という、博多で量り売りショップを運営している社長でご縁があり出会うことになりました。
その後、令和2年豪雨のボランティアで熊本県人吉市に行ったとき、博多の店舗を見学させていただきました。
そこで見たお客さんの楽しそうな笑顔は、いまでも印象に残っています。
その笑顔を見て、私も2年以内に同じようなお店をやろうと決意したのでした…』

Hidenori Fujiwara is the founder and owner of Jidaiya, a traditional Japanese cultural experience one-stop shop in Asakusa.

Fujiwara san is always thinking ahead of his time. He launched Jidaiya's ""Barrier-free station"" (rickshaw rides for people with disabilities) over a decade ago when the Barrier-Free Law wasn't enforced yet, nor even recommended for shops to provide barrier-free services.

He thought ahead though, thinking it was necessary to adjust to Japan's aging society and the many different types of travelers coming to his store. So he built it by hand.

As a result, Jidaiya is now one of the few (maybe even the only?) companies that provide rickshaw rides for people in wheelchairs.

Please feel free to share if you know anyone who may be interested in visiting Jidaiya - thank you :)

岡山に持続可能な地域社会の種をまく 経済的に安定した自由な社会で裕福に暮らす多くの人々にとって、「快適さ」とは偽りの恵みとさえ言えるかも知れません。実際には、過度に豊かさを追求したがる危険な習性や、あまりに簡単に欲しいものに手が届くことが、そのように感じさせているだけであって、(正直に言うと)その多くはそもそも私たちが必要だとは思っていなかったものだからです。ほとんどのモノがクリックひとつで手に入ります。そこには美しいとも言えるほどの利便性がありますが、2019年以降、新型コロナウイルス感染症のパンデミックが繰り返し私たちに教えてくれた教訓があるとすれば、それは、私たちが慣れ親しんだ快適さというものは、実に儚いものだということです。。。

25/02/2022

Tomoko Kurashina is the owner of Japan's first ""Earthship"" - a structure built with recycled materials that supplies its own water and electricity. She lives there and also operates it as an accommodation.

The building was constructed in Mima, Tokushima in 2020, from materials including 800 old tires, 4,000 bottles and 13,000 empty cans.

Kurashina began rethinking our use of electricity after the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami and the ensuing meltdowns at the Fukushima Power Plant. She tried to live without electricity for a while but realized it wasn't possible, so she began searching for alternative ways.

It was then when she read about the earthships pioneered by American architect Michael Reynolds. In 2015, she applied to join a team the city of Mima was forming to boost the development of the area, and moved from her native Kanagawa to Tokushima to build her own earthship.

She partially raised the 40 million to build it through crowd-funding and called Reynolds to Japan to help with the design and construction.

Construction began in 2018, and the 100-square-meter home was completed in the summer of 2019.

Earthship Mima is now one of Tokushima's key destinations.

Ken Ishihara is the owner of Chimoto, an old wagashi confectionery shop in Meguro.

His grandfather opened the store when Ishihara was still a child.
He vividly remembers the day when his grandfather took him to a tiny oyakodon place in Ginza.

They walked for a long time, finally ending in a tiny shop that had no sign whatsoever. When they got in, the grandfather just said ""two"" and waited for his order.

There was nothing but oyakodon on the menu.

That was Ken Ishihara's first lesson in taking over the family business: if you use the best ingredients and make a good product, it's enough to succeed.

The menu hasn't changed since he started. And yet, the shop is always full of people of all generations.

"Twins" Takaya and Fumito Matsuda are the founders of HERALBONY, a Japanese social creative agency that works with artists with intellectual disabilities. They are providing a stable income (over 30% of all sales go to the artists, whereas typically it is less than 10% at welfare facilities and organizations) and pride to those artists.

Since the launch of the company in 2018, the Matsuda's have run a social business built around the unique artistic talents of individuals with learning disabilities.

In partnership with facilities across Japan, besides organizing award-winning exhibitions, they license artists' work for use in stylish products including garments and accessories, as well as design tie-ups with craft beer brands and on hotel décor, with profits providing vital income for the artists themselves.

Yuki Yamamoto is the manager of Jiyucho.

Jiyucho is a tiny cafe/shop near Asakusa built on a simple concept: write a letter to yourself that will be delivered to you a year later.

The store is built on the idea that busy people hardly have time to reflect on their feelings and thoughts and provides them with the chance to change that.

Before writing your letter, you are given five options to choose from based on your current feeling and state of mind. Then comes a hot drink that is supposed to help calm these emotions and then you are given up to two hours to write.

It's such an amazing concept and a great experience. There are no language or cultural barriers, and no filters to the experience. Sitting down to reflect on your thoughts at a place that encourages you to... don't we all feel this is something special in our times?!

The store is also equipped with a large bookshelf filled with books from customers. Every time you visit Jiyucho you can take a book from the shelf and exchange it with the one you brought. Jiyucho also supports young artists by assigning them to do the art in the store and to design the paperwork one writes their letters on.

Please feel free to share if you know anyone who may be interested in visiting Jiyucho - thank you :)

Daigo Obayashi is a former tour guide and now the founder of Tavizo "Petit Tabi" in Kinosaki, Hyogo Prefecture.

Tavizo is an EV mobility rental company that is now causing a massive travel boost in the area.

Tavizo Petit Tabi is the first self-guided tour in Tajima.

Participants can enjoy a trip and visit local resources by themselves in an electric mobility vehicle. The mobility vehicle can be a motorcycle (for one person), a tuk-tuk (for three people), or a small jeep (for one person).

Using these vehicles, travelers can explore off-the-beaten-track regions around Kinosaki and go to scenic spots and landscapes scattered around the area, which are usually difficult to reach without cars.

Tavizo was launched in 2019, but despite the significant impact of the pandemic, they were able to get over 2,000 users in the first year of the launch. This is mostly because it was able to adapt to the new style of traveling: small groups in the outdoors, eco-friendly, and adventurous without traveling too far.

Please share if you know anyone who may be interested in visiting Tavizo - thank you :)

Kaori Sawada is the 6th generation owner and main sake brewer at Sawada Shuzo Brewery in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture. She is also the first woman owner in the history of the brewery. Women owning sake breweries in Japan is a very rare occurrence.

Since Sawada took over the management of the brewery, she has partnered with multiple local businesses to expand the sake business and reach a non-prime clientele.

For example, they have partnered with a local sweets brand to use the left-over sake residue to make a delicious gateau chocolat that is now becoming very popular in the area.

She also partnered with a group of plum farmers to make Sawada's plum wine, which saved them from abandoning their business.

Planting the seeds of a sustainable community in Okayama For many who have the luxury of living in economically stable and free societies, comfort is a blessing in disguise. It often stems from the dangerous habit of pursuing abundance and over-simplified access to commodities, many of which (let’s be honest) we didn’t even know we needed in the first place. Most things are a click away, and while there’s an undeniable beauty in this, if there’s one lesson the Covid-19 pandemic has taught us repeatedly since 2019, it is that comfort, as we’ve gotten used to it, is nothing but ephemerality....

Toru Hashimoto is the founder of 84 -hashi - a mysterious cafe in Tokyo with no address.

A former member of Nintendo, Hashimoto opened the cafe as a member-only place but is now opening it up to the general public - while still not publicly revealing the address.

The reason is that this is part of the game.

Inside 84, visitors can find all sorts of Nintendo games and character memorabilia - private collections with signs and gadgets given to Hashimoto from the creators of Pikachu, Zelda, Super Mario, and many other Nintendo characters and games.

These items are nowhere else to be found, so 84 is essentially a living museum.

But it's also a place people go to meet Hashimoto himself, who happens to be one of the best talkers and advisors ever born on this land! It's a fantastic, exclusive, odd, and mysterious place that makes you want to just sit down, listen and get creative.

Toshiyo Kusakabe is the co-owner and manager of the KAGANHOTEL in Kyoto.

KAGAN HOTEL is an art-inspired hostel and an artist-in-residence built on the concept of connecting young contemporary artists with the world.

It opened in 2019 and has since welcomed over a dozen young artists.

While there are many support programs for young artists in Japan, KAGAN HOTEL stands out for the fact that it offers a complete cycle to meet their needs: a place to live (residence), a place to work (atelier), a place to display and sell their works (gallery, exhibition spaces) and a place to earn extra income - all residents can either work at the cafe, do design work for the website or brochures, manage the hostel, etc.

KAGAN HOTEL also expands its services to foreign artists (the application form is also in English on the website) and provides visas for foreign artists who want to work in Japan.

Therefore, the hostel creates a fully sustainable program to enrich the lives and livelihood of young artists.
