The project aims to attract new families to the area and increase enrollment at the local public school. By staying in this house, you are supporting our community efforts to revitalize Akizuki through initiatives such as the annual Filmfest Akizuki, local urban and architecture workshops, and exciting future projects like the Akizuki Brewery, which will provide jobs for new families; a public sento (traditional bathhouse) where travelers and locals can meet; a bike rental shop to help you explore the town with ease — and much more to come! If you'd like to learn more about our projects, feel free to send a message to Hana and Héctor. Thank you for staying with us!
