Business approach
Many Japanese landlord do not accept people from other countries to rent a room, and Japanese language teacher says “80% of students go back to their counties without making Japanese friends”. This project started to change such a situation.
By renting a house from landlord and proving a shared house, we provide not only a house but also a chance to stay with Japanese people.

By purchasing organic herbs directly from producers through the fair price, we promote the organic farming and support to ensure better health and increase their income. Now we are trying to make the continued steady sales in Japan.
