CHINJU-NO-MORI is a place to give a prayer of gratitude to nature which has been providing bread of life for the Japanese from ancient times.
We define the grove closest to a life remaining near us as 'CHINJU-NO-MORI.'
Our goal is to make best use of the grove as a place to form a bond between people as well as people and nature, and to pass down toward future our 'wisdom' and 'tales' cherished over time and also 'heart' and 'space' to show thanks to nature.
