Arigato Village Map

What Is Arigato Village?
A future model to share from Japan to the world toward a circular society
A community developed with agriculture—the source of life—at its core: the “Arigato Farming Method®”
…
Purpose: Leave true abundance for the next generation
Definition: A cycle and life itself
Our aim: Create a community where you are appreciated for what you do best, and where we support one another and are supported in return
Ground rules: The five “measures of life” shared at the School of the Earth
Village membership requirement: Currently enrolled in the School of Wisdom and the School of the Earth
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
have a rich, true-to-nature flavor and are full of vitality and energy.
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.
