Exploring a Rural Mountain Village in Japan

In 2024, President William Beleck and a small group of employees at Nakamoto Forestry North America spent a week visiting Japan to explore historical regions and learn everything they could about the origins of yakisugi, Japanese construction and traditional craftsmanship. Guided by partners at Nakamoto Zourin and local friends along the way, their trip led to some exciting discoveries and unique adventures. This segment of the trip details their day exploring a small village in the mountains of the Taga Valley in Shiga Prefecture, with a spontaneous tour of a family home that has been in consistent use for over a century!

Special shoutout to Masa @cheapthrillmagazine for being such a gracious host and guide to us during the trip. Thank you!
