●What’s Ozuchi village like?
Ozuchi is a small village in Ishiakawa prefecture consisting of only ten houses, two locals and one cat.
The place is famous for traditional Japanese houses with red tiles and beautiful step-like rice fields which you can barely find in cities. Various activities have been organized by locals to preserve the beautiful natural woodland and traditional Japanese way of living. Until today more than 400 people from every corner of the world have come and joined such activities to revitalize Ozuchi village. We warmly welcome people who are willing to help passing down Japanese lasting customs and traditions to next generation.
