We are a couple in our fifties who have converted a shed into a forest cottage for our parents.
My eldest daughter is 33 years old, and my eldest son is 30 years old. Both of them live independently and happily, and come to stay with us on long holidays.
Father 91 years old
Mother 87 years old
My mother, who lives in the city, became unwell, unable to eat and had difficulty walking.
However, thanks to the healing nature of the southern foot of Mt. Yatsugatake where we live, my mother quickly recovered.
So we decided to self-build a cottage for our elderly parents.
Rural life does not require a lot of money.
So we don't spend the rest of our lives making money.
We decided to build our own house without spending as much money as possible.
I am in charge of the design and procurement of materials, and my husband is in charge of building the house.
I am having fun building a house and living a happy life with my chickens.
This time I went to a shrine that is not famous.
There, I came across a space so beautiful that I almost forgot the time.
※What is lath
It is the base material for clay walls and plaster walls, and is one of Japan's traditional construction methods.
