Shiraito no Mori: A Harmony of Food, Farming, and Community

Shiraito no Mori is a natural cycle farm that opened in 2018 with the concept of creating a place where people can gather through agriculture and food. The entrance is marked by the ‘Itoshima Shichiza,’ seven wooden objects along the road leading to Shiraito Falls.
