建築を学ぶが、建物のハードより、人が集う**「場づくり」**というソフトに魅了され、東京でカフェバーを経営。
Studied architecture, but became fascinated by the "software" aspect of "placemaking" where people gather, rather than the "hardware" of buildings, and managed a cafe/bar in Tokyo.

2011年の東日本大震災を機に、都市の消費的な暮らしに疑問を抱き、移住を決意。1年間の移住先探しの旅の末、2017年に家族で下田へ。移住後は、米づくりや古民家再生を通じて**「つくる暮らし」**を実践してきました。
Prompted by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, I questioned the consumptive lifestyle of the city and decided to relocate. After a year-long journey looking for a place to move, I relocated to Shimoda with my family in 2017. Since then, I have practiced a "creative lifestyle" through rice farming and renovating traditional houses.

2024年、自身の「場づくり」の集大成として「合同会社 風まち」を設立。空き物件だった元造船会社の寮を再生し、滞在型交流施設**「風まち下田」**を開業しました。
In 2024, I established "Kazemachi LLC" as the culmination of my "placemaking" efforts. I revitalized a former shipbuilding company's dormitory that was vacant, and opened the residential exchange facility "Kazemachi Shimoda".

多様な機能を持つ場を通じて、下田に新しい人の流れと関係人口を創出。施設内に住民票を置く移住者や登記する法人が続々生まれています。下田市PTA代表を務めるなど地域活動にも深く関わり、現在は小学校のコミュニティスクール運営委員も務めています。
Creating a new flow of people and related population in Shimoda through a multi-functional space. Relocators moving their residence records to the facility and corporations registering their businesses here are continuously emerging. I am deeply involved in local activities, such as serving as the head of the Shimoda City PTA, and currently serving as a community school steering committee member for an elementary school.
