Tono City Rural Living Support Center

The Tono City Rural Living Support Center in Iwate Prefecture is a service window supporting migrants seeking to establish rural living in Tono, the Land of Folk Tales. Tono, which retains Japan's original landscape, is appealing as an environment where one can achieve self-sufficient living centered on agriculture and livestock farming. It provides information on historic farmhouses renovated from traditional Nambu curved-roof houses and residential properties with farmland, as well as agricultural support programs. It also disseminates recruitment information for the Local Revitalization Cooperation Corps, proposing new ways of living rooted in the community.
