In 2020, we renovated a traditional Japanese house on Awaji Island to create a new place to call home. As the social climate continues to grow more serious, our quality of life and habits have gradually shifted. What is it that we truly desire? What is it that we truly want to see? We believe that by placing ourselves in a location where water, light, and wind are pleasant and beautiful, our imagination naturally transforms. That is why we created a place where you can experience genuine nature, not the artificial kind found in the city. Nothing special is needed there—just the beautiful nature and a space where you can feel it most comfortably. At ISLAND LIVING, step away from the hustle and bustle of the city and experience a truly special time.
