私たちの取り組む課題
Sogabe-cho Hoki is a mountainous area located in the westernmost part of the town, where public transportation is limited and cars are essential for daily life. While the population is aging and declining, with few children and most working residents in their late 40s, the area is only about 40 minutes from central Kyoto—just a 30-minute train ride and a 10-minute taxi trip. This close proximity makes it an appealing destination for visitors seeking to escape the crowds and experience an untouched rural landscape. By sharing the region’s long-standing stone craftsmanship with younger generations, the project aims to encourage return migration, attract new residents, and increase interest in the community.
曽我部町法貴は町の最西部にある山間地域で、公共交通が少なく車が必須です。高齢化と過疎化が進み、児童数も少ない一方、京都市内から40分ほどとアクセスが良く、原風景が残る地域として魅力があります。この特性を活かし、地域に根付く石文化を若い世代へ伝え、Uターンや移住、観光客の増加を目指しています。
なぜこの課題に取り組むか
This region preserves traditions of stone craftsmanship, agriculture, and other ways of life that date back more than 1,500 years. The craftsmanship and culture rooted in this area have always supported the daily lives of its people.
They continue to foster new wisdom and creativity, giving rise to a culture deeply connected to the local environment.
Our organization is dedicated to preserving this long and rich heritage while welcoming people from abroad and diverse backgrounds, and engaging in activities that contribute to the sustainable development of the region.
この地域には1500年以上も前からの石文化や農業などの当時の営みが残ります。そんな工芸や文化の地域に根付いたものづくりは常に人々の暮らしを支えてきました。
そして、新しい知恵や感性を生み出し、地域の風土に根付いた文化を生み出し続けています。
