Activity and attraction:
Sinkou-machi, where is 30 minutes far from Nagano-Staion by car, is a country hill area with no sightseeing point but living people are highly motivated to do!
The site have been one of well-known nice country hills from information by word of participant’s mouth.  
A few young people launched “Wakamono-kaigi (Conference of young residents)” in this February.  https://www.facebook.com/shinko.wakamono
We wanted for young people as starting member launched into this project with us.  

Organic rice making have gotten in second year.  We plan to plant rice in rice fields where is full of living things in this year, too.  
The project aims to take advantage of country hills making Japanese sake very delicious as particular about rice plant.  We try to rice grow with no weed-killer, agrochemicals, chemical fertilizer, and manure.  We plan to make Japanese sake from the rice grow in the field with diverse living things.  Our Japanese sake will be a great taste and good for your health!  
We named the project as “Oishinkou-no-sake project”.  

In this work camp, we plan to plant rice seeding by hand as traditional way.  We will not use rice-planting machines.  Your five senses will be wake up by work with mud.  We also plan to planting seeds of soybean for miso paste making in this winter.  
*The work may be changed by weather conditions.  

Dinner will be a vegetable meal with mainly wild grass and herb that harvested there.  You will keep good stomach whether you eat as much as you want.  You can taste “YAMAHAI-JYUNMAI-GENSHU-SAKUNOHANA (Japanese unprocessed sake made from organic KOSHIHIKARI)”.  It is mild Japanese sake, so you will not have a hangover next morning.  
We plan to use a community center of them for an accommodation.  The accommodation place may be changed by some conditions.
