3.Cedar House Forest Restoration Project: In order to make use of the abundant cedar forests in Kamikatsu, the Cedar House Forest Restoration Project will build small homes out of local cedar wood. With support from the local community, this project will attract new people to the area and promote long-term residence in Kamikatsu.

6.Human Resource Development Project: We will develop NEAL (Kikko-san, what does this acronym mean?... maybe explain it in parenthesis here) leaders in Kamikatsu to promote and implement nature-based experiences in Kamikatsu, such as rice terrace events, rice terrace tours, educational tours, etc.
