Über uns
Japanese wooden architecture, admired worldwide, originates not in temples or houses but in the forest. This unique experience takes you into a certified private timber forest near Tokyo, typically closed to the public, to explore how Japanese architecture begins with trees and long-term forest management. Guided by a master forester whose family has managed these mountains for over 300 years, you’ll learn how forests were intentionally cultivated to produce strong, straight, and durable timber for Edo period architecture and beyond.

木楽里（kirari）
At the woodworking studio Kirari, where the craft experience takes place, you’ll receive a lecture from a forestry master—known as a “mountain artist”—about Nishikawa timber and the history of local forestry.
Next, you’ll visit a certified forest site that’s normally closed to the public. The tour begins with a visit to a shrine dedicated to the mountain guardian deity. You’ll then explore the forest, learning about the care of centuries-old trees, unique cultivation methods, and the surrounding ecosystem.
Enjoy the scents of three different types of wood, find a tree that resonates with you, and relax at its base, quietly “conversing” with it.
Back at the studio, choose a kanji character and use a pyrography pen to inscribe it onto a wooden piece shaped like Edo Castle. This hands-on craft becomes a one-of-a-kind smartphone stand to take home as a special souvenir.
