Even a small journey can bring encounters with the wind, conversations with objects, and meetings with people. Even a small journey, I want to take it slowly, living humanly... In July 1988, Lodge Azumino Yujin opened in a corner of the forest of Suzurei Hill in Azumino, nestled among the red pine and oak woods spreading across the foothills of the Northern Alps. Since my first solo trip during high school, I have visited various places, met many people, and had countless experiences... When I first traveled to Hokkaido, I encountered people living simply and generously amidst the vast nature. Experiencing a world completely different from the hustle and bustle of the city where I grew up, I was struck by culture shock and began to dream of one day living leisurely in a land rich in nature. My first encounter with Azumino was when I traveled to Kamikochi and Norikura and happened to stay at a vacant Property. Since then, it has become a place where I feel at ease without reason, a place I visit whenever I have time, doing nothing but relaxing and idling away... Around that time, I read in a book about people living in the forested areas of Canada, cutting trees and building cabins with them, known as log houses. With a passion for authentic Canadian log houses, a love for wood, a dedication to Azumino, and a belief in how people should live to be true to themselves, I continue to move forward at my own pace with these thoughts in my heart.
