https://gurugurukansyasai2.peatix.com/view What is Aya Center Guruguru? Aya Center Guruguru, located under the elevated tracks at the west exit of Ayase Station, is a community hub that supports people’s “trying things” initiative. Comprised of three areas: “oasis,” “base,” and “park,” the center not only hosts events organized by the center, but also many events inspired by local ideas. Every day, the center serves as a place where the city’s creativity circulates. Here, various people and groups come together, working together to realize their dreams, creating a community cycle (“Guruguru”). For more information on Adachi Ward’s SDGs initiatives, including this project, please visit the special website.

Under the theme of “realizing a free lifestyle unconstrained by money, place, and time,” the company proposed a new lifestyle that emphasizes minimalism, multi-location living, sharing, and connections with community and people. It has also worked to popularize “tiny houses” as a symbol of these ideas and values. In particular, we are working to solve various social issues through the manufacturing, sales, and production of mobile tiny houses. ■Company Overview YADOKARI aims to realize its vision of “Changing the world, creating lifestyles” by combining business, social, and philosophical values. We are a leading company that plans, sells, manufactures, and reuses mobile properties and trailer homes, as well as develops and operates hotels utilizing mobile properties. While working to solve social issues such as utilizing unused land, regional revitalization, disaster relief, and community building, we also engage in a wide range of business activities, including the planning and operation of “YADOKARI VILLAGE Kitakaruizawa,” the tiny house purchasing and information website “YADOKARI.net,” and the used trailer home buying and selling website “TRAILER HOUSE SECOND HAND.” His books include “Japan’s New Cabin Life” (Kobunsha), “I’m a Minimalist” (Sanei Shobo), “Future Living Conference” (Miwasha), and “Monthly Rental Books,” which have been published not only in Japan but also in many Asian countries such as China and Korea.
