The history of Ibasho House 居場所ハウスのあゆみ

When Global Network Team (GNT) held 3rd Tohoku Trip in March 2014, Tohoku trip members visited ‘Ibasho House’ in Massaki Town, Ofunato city, Iwate Prefecture. They had a good time cooking traditional food in Iwate as well as Filipino and Vietnamese food together with local people.
We would like to introduce “The history of Ibasho House” which is written about its activities.

2014年3月に実施された第3回東北トリップにて、私たちは岩手県大船渡市末崎町にある「居場所ハウス」を訪れました。そして、地元の方々と岩手県の郷土料理やフィリピンやベトナム料理を一緒につくり、楽しい時間を過ごしました。その「居場所ハウス」のこれまでの活動の歩みをまとめた「居場所ハウスのあゆみ」が完成したようですので、みなさんにご紹介したいと思います。



Ibasho House is crucial gathering place for local people based on its mission below. They take it for granted that they do what they can do. It was 1st anniversary in June, 2014. Furthermore, it has started a farm from the end of August and a morning market from the end of October. Please have a look at “The history of Ibasho House”.
* “The history of Ibasho House” is written only in Japanese.

居場所ハウスは、下記の運営理念のもと、地域のみなさまの「自分にできることをやるのは当たり前」との思いで運営されており、地域の方々の大切な集いの場となっています。そして、2014年6月にはオープンから一周年を迎え、8月末からは農園作り、10月末から朝市を行われているそうです。ぜひご覧ください!
