forenta proposes a new lifestyle of spending leisure time in the forest. In addition, we have secured the maintenance and management costs of the forest from the profits obtained. Furthermore, the increase in related population contributes to the revitalization of the mountain village area. We positioned the scheme of providing a private forest space without destroying the environment as a design of new richness, which led to the award of the Good Design Award. ■ Camp area information updated as needed

I am very honored to receive the Good Design Award and the Wood Design Award for my efforts with forenta.
It was a scheme that had never existed in Japan before, and it was an unknown area to what extent it would be accepted by society. I think that the results led to the evaluation.
Our staff are currently flying around forests across the country to explore new possibilities for forests. Also, the number of like-minded friends has increased through the franchise. Rather than destroying forests, I would like to prioritize coexistence and co-prosperity, and I would like to continue working hard so that many people can enjoy forest spaces.
