Description
We live at the foot of Mt. Yotei in Niseko, Hokkaido.
Our members are me, my wife, three elementary school sisters, two dogs, two sheep, and ten chickens.
We generate electricity with solar power. We draw water for daily use from the river. We fetch drinking water from a spring.
We heat the bath with firewood.
Electricity is limited because it is generated by solar panels.
There is no hair dryer, so it can't be used.
A flashlight is required because it is dark at night.
The toilet is outside.
The environment is pretty wild, but is it okay?
However, last year, we acquired an old house in Otaru, so the main work content for this year is the renovation of that house.
The house in Otaru is a normal house, so it has electricity, water, kitchen, toilet, bath, and private rooms.
So, it is possible to stay here.
