We reweave the connection
between nature, growers, and people.

Ame Kaze Taiyo, Inc. creates active interaction between various locations across Japan (including exchanges between cities and rural areas), to reweave the connection between nature, growers, and people. By sharing the stories behind food production, we expand mutually beneficial relationships between producers and consumers, and shed light on the gratitude and joy that can be gained from such connections.

MISSION

We reweave the connection between nature, growers, and people.

Hometown Tax Donations

Hometown tax donation service with continued connection

This is a new hometown tax donation service that connects users directly with the producers of the tax return gift. This system makes it easy for small-scale producers to list items, and therefore users can choose from a wide variety of tax return gifts. Users can find the produce and regions to make their donations by interacting directly with producers and growers.

Community Solar Project

Connecting cities and rural areas by providing producer’s electricity

We have begun promoting solar sharing (installation of solar power generation equipment above fields to generate electricity alongside food production) and electricity retail of food producers to consumers.

Nature Study Programs

A study program experiencing nature and learning the importance of life with producers from all over Japan.

This is a nature study program for parents and children that brings together ‘travel’ and ‘learning’. During our program, participants can join agricultural and fishing experiences only available by working with our locally based producers and have opportunities to learn about eating and living while enjoying a staying in the countryside.

Local Government Cooperation

Cooperation with local governments to implement initiatives to grow sales pipes for producers and create a Connected Community.

We provide measures to meet the various needs of both producers and consumers, from the likes of fishing and farming all the way to logistics and tourism.
