If you enjoy the outdoors, the comfort and beauty of Nature, and living tucked in the woods, this “house” is something to look at and learn from. With solar power, it is completely self-sufficient, and as minimal as it seems it has all the comforts of home. The owners use it as a weekend retreat from the frenetic pace of Tokyo, and doubtless, when they return to the city after a few days away, they are revitalized and renewed both in body and spirit. There can be nothing quite as relaxing and rejuvenating as this kind of camping.
To live so close to the land is illuminated in sharp contrast to life in the city, and this couple gets the most out of the experience as can be gotten. During the day they work the land, and the nighttime can find them star gazing and sipping tea or saki, unwinding from the rigors of city life. This is the perfect place to get away from it all and reconnect to the things that really matter in life.
