'Must hair salons pollute nature?' 176 supporters push forward 'Stilt Hair Salon Project' in Minami-Izu

The 'Stilt Hair Salon Project' promoted by the nature-oriented salon 'Mori to Ao' (Representative: Miyoko Nakano) in Minami-Izu Town, Shizuoka Prefecture, has achieved its first crowdfunding goal of 3 million yen.

To date, we have received support from 176 people.

With this achievement, preparations for the construction of the stilt hair salon, which we have long envisioned, have begun in earnest.

A challenge that started with the question, 'Must hair salons pollute nature?' has now reached the realization phase thanks to the empathy of many people.

We are building a salon that adopts stilt architecture. By incorporating a circular system where water used during treatments passes under the floor and returns to the soil, we aim to create a place where people and nature, and people and people, can connect gently.

We have invested approximately 4 million yen of our own funds in land preparation, design, and various applications, but reaching this first goal is a major step forward for construction. We have now set a new next goal of 6 million yen. Additional support will be used for exterior development conscious of harmony with the surrounding environment, creating gathering spaces for people to connect with nature, and landscaping using natural materials. The crowdfunding campaign ends on June 22nd.
