Project of "Tenohiranitaiyo no ie"


We have been supporting the construction project of Tenohiranitaiyo no ie, which is the recovery assistance house for the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake. "Tenohiranitaiyo no ie" adopts the renewable energy system, and local materials will be used for its construction. We provided financial support as a sponsor for purchasing the land and the construction cost. We decided to utilize some of the donation we had collected for "Outdoor GIENTAI" because we want to deliver the warm and kind feelings we had received from all over the world to encourage the victims to reconstruct their lives.

― "Tenohiranitaiyo no ie" is the community-based recovery assistance house where people live together, which was designed to solve the problems that the conventional temporary houses have and allow the victims to live safely and feel comfortable. The project was designed and is proceeded by Japan Forest Biomass Network and Nonprofit Organization Kurikoma-kogen Natural Education Institute.
