《Overview of Support》

This project aims to regenerate a sake brewery in Geisei Village, Kochi Prefecture, that is over 100 years old, and pass it on to the next generation as "Hibiki no Mori," a regional exchange and lodging hub. Against the backdrop of declining regional interaction due to population decrease and aging, and a lack of facilities to accommodate long-stay visitors, the project seeks to create vibrancy by utilizing local assets. The goal is to partially dismantle the aging sake brewery while preserving its historical features, transforming it into a space accessible to everyone, equipped with a hall, garden, and RV (recreational vehicle) park, thereby fostering interaction between people from within and outside the region through various uses such as event hosting. After completion, we hope to promote its use by both villagers and visitors, achieve sustainable operation, and contribute to regional economic revitalization, an increase in the exchange population, and the fostering of pride among residents. It is expected that the memory of the sake brewery will be passed on to the future, becoming a new hub for disseminating regional charm, and we would appreciate your support.
