What are “Arigato Vegetables,” grown with the “Arigato Farming Method®”?
They are created not only through blessings from heaven and earth, but also in cooperation with animals, insects, microorganisms, and fungi…
Working together with all life on Earth, these Arigato Vegetables

Going forward, even in the unlikely event of an emergency,
we will continue creating and enhancing the village’s functions
so it can be a place where you can live safely and abundantly.

● Why We Created Arigato Village

The world is now entering an unprecedented period of transformation.
In 2005, I was taught how to overcome this era by “Daichi” in heaven.

In 2017, on this land entrusted to us,
we launched “Awaji Arigato Village” as a【place to connect life】
.

From May 2018, we began creating a community called the “Arigato Village Family.”

What we had decided since 2005 was
“To create a fully self-sufficient, agriculture-based community where people can truly trust one another.”

Feeling driven to have it ready by 2020, we prepared with joy.

This is because we had heard from “Daichi” that in 2020, major global changes to the rules people live by would begin.

From 2020, major changes began to become clearly visible.

What is most needed now is for “each person to connect firmly with abundance.”

When companions who deeply understand abundance gather,
a “community of mutual trust” is born.

We can also create food from the laws of nature.
To overcome this era of change and create a place that connects life,
we are building it together with everyone as the “Arigato Village Family.”

The mission of this village is“to create a safe and secure community where we support one another and are supported in return, by expressing what each of us does best.”

We began with the conviction that this small village will become a model not only for Japan, but for the world.
It is about creating a model that shows: This is how you can live happily!!


● What Arigato Village Values Most
The most important thing in this village is “life.”

At the School of the Earth, we share the rules by which “life” can shine as “life,” as the “five measures of life.”

In this community,
we live in accordance with the laws of the universe and nature (the five measures of life),
and we support the workings of the universe and nature (living with collective consciousness)…
We would like to aim together to “become part of the universe and nature, and work as a member of this Earth.”

And together with the life that circulates, we will continue, in earnest, to “leave true abundance for the next generation”!


● Choose a Place Where You Feel Comfortable

In the coming era, the age of communities will arrive and accelerate,
and I keenly feel that“choosing where you place yourself”
will become truly important.

Which community is best for you to belong to?
I sincerely hope that each of you will create a comfortable place where you can feel safe and truly trust, or encounter such a place,
and that each person will devote their life’s time to the place they have chosen, and on this planet called Earth,
live “together with abundance.”

As we enter this turbulent era, humanity is now being asked to “evolve.”

What is human evolution?

It is “to know your true self and live as your true self.”

 

There, the great laws of the Earth and the universe are at work,
and humanity needs to know that we are kept alive as part of them.

By knowing those workings, using them, and living in the present, true evolution will come.

Why was a person born? What does it mean to live? …

For those who are exploring what it truly means and why, and who wish to live with that understanding,
and for those who wish totouch the principles of truth, we warmly welcome you to Arigato Village!


● Regarding the Changes of the Times

The visible changes that began in 2020 are expected to spread as even greater changes in the future.

This is only the beginning.

Amid this, our calling is to create a state of readiness to welcome everyone at any time, as everyone’s home base.

The annual membership fee entrusted to us is the village’s “operating and management cost” for sustaining life.

It is by no means a payment for vegetables, nor is it the fee for the once-a-month Family Day event.

Even if you cannot come every month on Family Day, please consider it as storing food at Arigato Village.
From here on, we are entering an era in which we truly do not know what will happen to the value of money. Please secure a safe place.

What is most wonderful about Arigato Village is that even if “that time” comes and you evacuate here,
it will be just as fun as always, no different from an event day! (laughs)
And if it turns out there is no need to evacuate, you can enjoy Hojō vegetables, strengthen your immunity, and be even healthier.

At present, this is not yet a large village that can accept hundreds of people. Therefore, we are not currently accepting general applications.
We hope to carefully build the village together with those we are connected with by fate, who share this vision.


● A Message from Arigato Village
If you feel that Arigato Village is a comfortable place,
and you have the will to say, “I want to do this here! I want to work together as part of this mechanism of the universe!” then we would be delighted if you could join us and work with us as a member of the Arigato Village Family.

If there is anyone who wishes to engage with the universe’s cyclical mechanisms through this Earth-stage called Arigato Village, we would be truly happy if you would become one of our companions.

We would like to enjoyably overcome this time of transformation together with everyone.
Let us create a wonderful village together!!

With pride and gratitude for being able to experience this era together with you all…
