In the Tonami plain in western Toyama lies one of the largest “dispersed settlements” in all of Japan. Here, the word dotoku has been handed down to express the synergistic value created by the works of people and nature coming together in harmony. Rural scenery, traditional architecture, food, crafts, and art…Rakudo An is a space for travelers to experience dotoku in its many forms. Food nourished by the rich landscape of Toyama. Art and design which call to us through beauty. Experiences which enrich the body and soul, touching on the spiritual and ecological aspects of the land. We offer these activities to protect and preserve the virtues of this land while providing a structure for active community revitalization.
By experiencing and nurturing these values, regeneration will occur naturally. We hope that the delight you experience will become sustenance for your life.
