### In Music City Koriyama
Koriyama City, known as a music city with a vibrant music scene, is just 1 hour and 17 minutes from Tokyo Station by Shinkansen, bringing not the speed of the city, but an invitation to deep tranquility.
As the sun sets and the vast 1000 tsubo land is enveloped in silence. A streak of speeding sound piercing through the clear night air becomes a soft reverberation. It is proof that the pulse of civilization and the breath of great nature gently merge in this place.
Currently, this former agricultural land, covered in tall weeds and quietly sleeping, will not just be a "shelter" for us. Our dream is to make this place Japan's only "Sanctuary" where dogs, cats, and humans seeking "true richness" cultivate life and play the future together.

## The "Concerto of Life" Beginning from 1000 tsubo of Wasteland
Currently, what lies before us is a field of weeds grown to our height. However, I can see it. The paw prints of rescued dogs running energetically, the purring sleep of cats on the engawa. And the smiles of people, who, after a 1 hour and 17 minute journey from Tokyo, regain their deep breath.
Our dream is to elevate this 1000 tsubo not to a "facility managed by someone," but to a "community played by everyone."
## Won't you become a player in this "Sanctuary"?
To realize this grand dream and to pass this baton on to the next generation (inherit it), we are recruiting partners in the form of "financial participation."
These tall weeds represent the future's potential. What kind of sound of life will you inscribe on this 1000 tsubo canvas?
- As a weekend "villa owner": Participate in the development of 1000 tsubo and share the joy of creating dog runs and vegetable gardens with your own hands.
- As a future "inheritor": Design a slow life here together as a base for remote work and child-rearing.
- As a "shareholder of dreams": Support the mechanism of saving lives itself and collectively launch a sustainable "new form of welfare" into the world.
It is not merely a donation. It is an investment in the future, to reserve your "ideal life" on this vast 1000 tsubo land.
## This dream is still a "blank sheet music."
1000 tsubo of vast land. Overgrown weeds. To be frank, this project has just taken its first step.
What we are envisioning is not a completed blueprint, but "a future we want to draw together with everyone from here."
- "I wish there was a garden like this for rescued dogs and cats."
- "I want to gaze at this kind of scenery during breaks from remote work."
- "I want to grow these kinds of vegetables on 1000 tsubo of farmland."
Each voice from your inquiries will be an important tone that shapes this sanctuary. Financial participation, cooperation in operations, or a pure desire to "someday live here." Any form is fine.
Won't you cultivate, think, and nurture this 1000 tsubo, which is not yet colored, together with us?
Approx. 12 minutes from Tohoku Expressway Motomiya IC, approx. 10 minutes by car from Koriyama Hiwada Station.
Your vision of a slow life will be the "right answer" for this place.
First, let's start by discussing the continuation of this dream. We sincerely await your inquiries from this place where the wind of Koriyama and the reverberation of the Shinkansen reach.
Let's make dreams come true together under the Koriyama sky.
【Inquiries and Details】 For inquiries regarding the 1000 tsubo development roadmap, how to participate in the community, and site visits, please feel free to contact us below. We look forward to your "dream" blossoming in this place.
