It’s been a while since I posted a Fun Friday but here it is. This week I escaped the madness of Tokyo for the beautiful surroundings of Yamanashi at the foot of Mount Fuji at the Earth Embassy. The Earth Embassy is a cafe, organic farm and learning center focusing on sustainable lifestyles and environmentally friendly technology.

 

I’m here to help out with a project to build an all year green house and lodge from recycled materials over the coming summer months. I interviewed Natsuko and Jake the manager of the Earth Embassy and the green house project. We talked on various subjects including what they do and even their favorite and least favorite Japanese phrases.
