Through forest land transactions, Yamaichiba has a dream: to transform 'negative assets' into 'wealth-generating assets,' and to create a future where 'owning a mountain is normal and a source of pride.'
Currently, many forest lands are left abandoned for reasons such as 'never been there, don't know the location' or 'maintenance is troublesome.' However, what is a 'negative asset' for one person can become a 'stage for realizing dreams' for another.
Yamaichiba's role is not merely brokerage. It is to be a 'bridge' that connects the baton of forest land from those who have carefully protected it to those who wish to utilize it anew.

## Our Dream: Towards a Japan Where Everyone Can Talk About "My Mountain"
Towards a Japan where everyone can talk about "my mountain"
Japan is one of the leading forest nations among developed countries, with forest land occupying approximately two-thirds of its territory, playing a crucial role in water source preservation and timber resource cultivation.
However, in Japan, the importance and asset value of forest land are not widely recognized, and abandoned forest land and land with unknown owners are major problems. Is a mountain a "negative asset" for Japanese people?
No, that is not the case. Japanese people have lived with and been familiar with mountains since ancient times.
If lifestyles spread where "ancestral mountains are utilized by new generations" and "people live in the city but spend weekends on their own mountain," then issues like abandoned forest land and land with unknown owners should gradually be resolved.
Approximately 58% of Japan's forests are private forests owned by individuals and corporations. Owning your own mountain is by no means a special thing.
Mountains are important assets that support our lives and gifts for the future. Yamaichiba will dedicate all its knowledge and experience to realizing this dream and fully support everyone's "mountain creation."
