Program Details
I have traveled all over the world(99countries)
It's been almost six years since we moved to Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture.
I don't think there are many places in the world where we can live so comfortably.
We're not far from big cities and we're surrounded by nature.
There's also the world-famous Art Island nearby, which is easy to visit.
We've seen the world, but we really feel that this place is special.
Our activities promote interaction between travelers and provide a place where locals and tourists can interact, and we value the connections that are made through this, as well as the experience and enjoyment of the differences in cultures and values that we can find at our travel destinations.
