Escape the city and immerse yourself in nature.
By experiencing nature with all five senses, you'll become aware of your connection to urban life.
This awareness will serve as a catalyst for thinking about society and our future.
Couldn't we create the first step towards realizing such a "sustainable society"?
Alive is a base of operations for exploring "the society of the future" together with you.
The things that support today are the result of the wisdom and efforts of many people, created and passed down through generations.
Let's rediscover these obvious things that we often forget.
Agriculture, forestry, crafts, hunting, and our society and way of life. Things that have come to pass down today through the coexistence of nature and people.
Let's consider how to continue to connect these things to a better tomorrow.
We want Alive to be such a place.
It's a wooden log house surrounded by forest, where you can enjoy a BBQ on the deck while listening to the gentle murmur of the Iruma River flowing in front of you.
The 18-tatami mat living room on the first floor can accommodate training sessions for up to 16 people.
The second floor has three 6-tatami mat Japanese-style rooms, and the attic has one 8-tatami mat Western-style room.
There are also four desks for work, and Wi-Fi, a projector, and a screen are provided.
It's surprisingly effective for team building during corporate off-site meetings and training camps.

Please cooperate by opening the windows as much as possible to allow for ventilation.

If you can no longer fit everything in the bag, please be sure to close the bag and put it all together.
