About Minamioguni
FIL is in Minamioguni, Kumamoto prefecture, a town of 4,000 people which is famous for Kurokawa hot spring. Minamioguni is located on the north side of Aso where you can experience the rare sight of an active caldera. Needless to say tourism is prosperous in Aso with many visitors from inside and outside Japan, as well as forestry and agriculture.
Cedar trees planted by our ancestors turned into the Oguni Sugi brand after 250 years. The rich soil of Aso and extreme temperature difference produced beautiful coloration and shine. What can we do to share these blessings from nature which have been nurtured over such a long period of time? We started FIL activities utilizing various cutting-edge technologies and various viewpoints to deal with the woods to connect this asset to the future.
