Our company supports April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release is a dream of "Yakuso Terakoya."
April 1, 2026.
We, "Yakuso Terakoya," declare a dream to fulfill.
"To increase the number of people in each region who live with medicinal herbs and nature, enjoy them, and share them."
In modern times, in exchange for convenience, it is easy to lose sight of one's body's voice and connection with nature.
Many people feel "I don't know how to regulate myself" amidst busyness and stress.
In such a situation, since 2015, we have continued to hold training courses for Medicinal Herb Cuisine Masters at "Yakuso Terakoya" as a place of learning to regain "the power to regulate oneself" through familiar wild plants and medicinal herbs, with the cooperation of Mr. Tadanori Yano of NPO Okusuri Kenkyukai, residing in Oita Prefecture.
Wild plants become a feast.
The fruit trees and trees in the satoyama (foothills) have, over long years, created an environment passed down by our ancestors to their descendants. They protect our modern food and lives.
We want to learn, experience, practice, and pass on the wisdom of living, enjoying together as creators of the future, knowledge about edible wild plants picked in satoyama and abandoned fields.
Mugwort and chickweed growing in the fields,
transform from mere weeds into something connected to daily food and care.
These small discoveries change life itself.
## Our Dream
What we aim for is not just the provision of knowledge.
It is a society where more people live in harmony with nature, moving between urban and satoyama areas,
regulating their own mind and body, and experiencing the joy of nurturing plants. We offer learning that fosters enjoyable experiences for members, even those living alone, by utilizing shared traditional houses and abandoned fields as fieldwork locations.
- To possess knowledge of self-regulating food, traditional Japanese food, fermented food, and wisdom for natural living even in busy cities.
- To reconnect with nature and regain one's senses, even if only on weekends.
- To create a life where one can make choices independently, without relying on others.
- To experience the joy and happiness of daily life through rice cultivation and vegetable gardening, feeling the four seasons and laughing together.
We believe that by spreading such "small independences,"
society as a whole will become more resilient and sustainable.
The fieldwork location is Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
As a business model district for the revitalization of intermediate rural areas retaining the original landscape of satoyama,
we will share our 13 years of experience and conduct online activities for those starting a two-base lifestyle.
## Finally
The power to regulate pre-illness (mibyo) is not something special; it exists in daily life.
And it is a power that everyone inherently possessed.
April 1, 2026. Starting from this day, we envision a future where the wisdom of food and medicinal herbs will once again take root in daily life.
## About Yakuso Terakoya
A place for self-centered learning, where one can regulate oneself through nature and daily life. We develop practical courses and experiences centered on medicinal herb cuisine, natural therapies, and two-base living.
