Once upon a time, an old private house in Iwate was relocated to Hakone and completed.
Start with Mukashi Mirai.
2004 "Hakone House" was born. After that, the second phase of construction was completed (2016-7), overcoming the 2011 3.11 etc. Thinking while traveling in the rural areas of Japan before the relocation, living in the true Hakone that I love, living in the old folk house of my favorite Kesen carpenter, and living in the future that reinterpreted the technology and culture hidden in the old Japanese folk house I am familiar with how to build.

A 190-year-old Kesen carpenter's old private house was relocated and renovated in 2004. The birthplace of this old folk house is Iwate prefecture. The old folk house was carefully dismantled and relocated to a location overlooking Lake Ashinoko in Hakone. However, the old folk house was almost completely destroyed by the huge earthquake (March 11, 2011). Fortunately, this old but new house was moved to Hakone before the earthquake. It's a good place to carry Mukashi's house in 2003. In addition, there are various points of ingenuity in the second phase of construction, such as the wall on the mountain side, but in 2017 the balcony overlooking Lake Ashi and the treatment of the roof. Please take your time and watch it.
The region is home. The city center is for sightseeing.

"Start with Mirai of Mukashi."
Japan is a culture created by coexistence and symbiosis since ancient times. In the Edo period, private houses, temples, bridges and shrines were built without using nails, and the so-called old buildings will continue to exist. There is a story that a 100-year-old house that was built will be useless in decades. It is said that it is humid, but the wood used is different. This is because the tree is fundamentally weak. This is because we import and use trees that are grown in a hurry and cheap trees. Before the old trees became burnt fields in the war, private houses were built using large Japanese trees as the key to the giant pillars found in the precincts of the former Izumo Taisha Shrine .
In this way, I am truly happy to be able to live with this old Iwate folk house built in Mukashi to Japanese Mirai while living in the true Hakone of Hakone-machi, which is an urban country close to the city center.

"Around Kesennuma, an old folk house in Iwate Prefecture is in Hakone, Kanagawa."
From the latter half of 1996, I started a trip to find an old folk house. Did you see about 50 cases between work? We discovered a precious old folk house built by a Kesen carpenter in the Tohoku region about 180 years ago, and relocated it on the slope overlooking Lake Ashi in a new style that fuses modern architecture and old trees. Unfortunately, the Great East Japan Earthquake lost many of the Kesen carpenters' homes in Rikuzentakata. This old folk house was one of the precious houses built by Kesen Carpentry from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era, and was relocated to Hakone for permanent residence in 2004 as a "high-tech old folk house" . (High tech is an abbreviation for "high technology" and is a cutting-edge technology in fields that will have a major impact on society in the next era.)

"Keep the old folk house alive today."
After polishing the pillars and beams for the first time in 10 years, the strength was alive and well without any deterioration, and they were protected by canvas. As the great architect said, it is also an open place surrounded by the canvas but full of light. I think that the relationship between a dark place surrounded by the depths, an open and bright place, a place with the darkness of the ceiling, and a space containing these three places has been established.

"Quietly and boldly with Mt. Fuji."
The road to omit even though the car tourist is in front of you. It begins at the confluence curve at the top of the 732 Hakone Old Highway with National Highway No. 1, which is famous for the Hakone Ekiden. That is the road of Donkin in the upside-down Fuji area. It is truly Hakone and Hakone, Hakone. Two lanes that rub against each other On a little road, people with abundant lives live quietly and sometimes gorgeously on both sides. In fact, a cloudy hot spring path passes overlooking Lake Ashi. In addition, there is another secret road at the entrance of the house, which is 790m above sea level, and waits for the return. Continue to a hideout away from the hustle and bustle. From the site of about 1000 tsubo, you can see Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi Hakone Shrine, and the sound of a bell echoes. Seen from the lake, you can see a group of villas on Mt. Onshi-Hakone Park, a gift of a morning walk, has a fascinating view. (Donkin means that Don in the Taisho era is prohibited, that is, guns are prohibited)

"What is Kesen Carpentry?"
A group of carpenters with excellent techniques from ancient times in the Kesen-gun region (Sendai clan) of Iwate prefecture. It is a diverse group that forms a carpenter group to earn money from the Edo period and handles shrines and temples, crafts, and private houses. Since I lived in a region near a cliff, I was quick to become a carpenter. Especially after the Meiji era, with the opening of the Tohoku Main Line, we worked on houses in the Kanto region and far continents. The same goes for Kabuki-za in Ginza. It was also active in the restoration of the Osaka Castle castle tower. It is my hope that the traditional techniques of Kesen Carpentry, which has been built up by such an excellent group, can be passed on to future generations and further developed.

I grew up in Tokyo, but I became a person in a moderately depopulated area called Hakone.
I think the word "house, garden and set home" that Japanese people think of is really wonderful.
I hope someone can help me.
