Tono Furusato Village is an experiential facility where our predecessors survived the poor era and pass on the ``spirit of unity'' and ``wisdom for living'' to the present day. Through these experiences, students will be exposed to the significance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations, and will have a fruitful education that will raise their awareness of how to create a sustainable, diverse, and inclusive society. How about traveling? We also accept students who want to experience living at Magariya. Please contact us for details.
learning effect
By learning about the production site, you will learn about the ``responsibility of production and consumption'' and the ``circle of life.'' ``From the individual to the whole'' We gain mutual understanding through collective action.
You will feel the richness of the land and learn the importance of communicating with and protecting the richness of the sea. Learn the wisdom of living by hearing from farmers about their past poverty and their methods for overcoming it.
message to teacher
In the past, in rural villages, grandparents would babysit and tell old stories about discipline. I listen to people's stories as analogies, so my heart accepts them honestly. The SDGs set by the United Nations have great hints about life in this satoyama. In order to build a sustainable, diverse, and inclusive society around the world, with the goal of 2030, we would like to give our students a taste of life in a mountain village.
