紫陽花と山の中の古民家宿 “Chiiori” is the name of an Edo period minka farmhouse in the Iya Valley, western Tokushima, Japan. Purchased by Alex Kerr in the 1970s, the house is now home to staff members of Chiiori Trust, a non-profit organization based in Iya Valley that is working toward solutions to the problems surrounding depopulation in rural Japan. #ajisai #hydrangea #iya #miyoshi #tokushima #iyavalley #shikoku #japan #mountain #lodge (ちいおり) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP2u7AKAPLU/?utm_medium=tumblr

A random bus trip in the #iyavalley took us to their #monstermuseum delving into the local folklore! Some quite bizarre tales of #zombies and noodle eating #racoons 😂 it didn’t have high production values, but it was definitely entertaining #monsters #folklore #japan #ghosts #zombies #characterdesign #demons #monsters #masks (at 道の駅 大歩危) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnN3kT9AIEr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kobahrnzv2re
