Community model for dealing with super-aging society

Build a local community model in which residents work together to keep creating comfortable lifestyles through a collective housing area, health promotion and programs for watching out for older residents.

Total forest industry Revolutionize forestry and forestry product industry systems in a bid to reduce costs and add value in both industries, and ensure independent profitability by promoting the use of wood.

Self-sustainable and autonomous development base
