 We
Purchased a Mountain
We purchased a mountain in the Northern section of the
island. We are planning an agroforestry project. If you wanna know more please
scroll to the Agroforestry links. The information is written in English but will
be translated to Japanese soon. Thanks for your interest in our agroforestry
project.
Translation in Japanese:
山を購入

We are already supplying close to 100% of our fresh food needs with our farms
and now it's time for the next step, which in this case, means buying a
mountain. Yup, we purchased a mountain which backs to the reservoir which supplies
water to the island. The total land area of the mountain is over 18,000 square meters, which is
about 193,750 square feet for those of you still using the Imperial measuring system, or
about 4.5 acres. The mountain is loaded with hinoki and sugi trees and has
beautiful views of the reservoir. Public facilities are located directly across
the reservoir and include a huge park, sports fields, a community center, and
several bathrooms. A small cabin style bathroom is located a mere 4 minute walk
from our property in a small park and includes flush toilets, a public source of
drinking water, and picnic tables. |

 Our
Story
We are a very different kind of family. We are not working
in the conventional sense, our kids are not in school, we
are mostly self-sufficient supplying close to 100% of our
fresh food needs, and we spend 24/7 together. It was a tough road
to get here but now we are settled and enjoying a very
simple existence. Over the years I realized the
three things that got us here, Taking Chances....Making Changes....Being
Happy.
For those of you contemplating life changing decisions, hopefully
you can find a
few ideas, inspiration, motivation, etc....on these pages to help you along
your road. |
