We aimed to incorporate SDGs activities into the design of materials and planting schemes.

Trees that were damaged by the Boso Peninsula Typhoon (2019) were monitored while ensuring safety, and trees that needed to be cut down were chipped, and each was kept in its role. The large laid out rocks in the garden were collected from the local area and used after being left unused for a long time. The hobbit house was designed for children to play in child-sized. A birdhouse was also linked with and placed. Italian roof terra-cotta tiles which were also blown off by the typhoon were layered out on the premises under the wood-decking for ventilation. We also hope that this place will become an Insect Hotel, where insects will naturally gather.

We installed a circular sunken bench with the hope of being able to touch the sky, and when you sit on it, you can enjoy the sky and plants at eye level. The wooden deck was built of recycled pipes that can be used from waste materials. Aiming for a stylish wooden deck, we used chic colours throughout. When you stand on the protruding deck, you can feel the sky close by.

The plantings have been planned with a warm colour scheme that can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons.

The overall concept of the garden is "the five senses," We believe that the importance of the awareness is very meaningful for human as sensing these associates with to help us understand and perceive the world which gives us importance of existing ourself.

It has been constructed as an amusement park where visitors can feel closer to nature through the garden.
