Nature training center and accommodation "Forest Nature School" is cage-free

The “Forest Nature School” in Hida Takayama is, as its name suggests, located in a nature-rich spot surrounded by forests.

It has a solid wood accommodation, a training room, and a farming experience area, and offers various training such as furniture making, woodworking experience, lacquering experience, nature observation, food and agriculture experience, mountain maintenance, etc.

And in one corner is a barn-raised poultry farm with about 150 chickens. And, of course, the eggs used for meals during the stay are cage-free eggs. It also supported Animal Rights Center’s cage-free declaration.

The chickens, who exercise reasonably and stay in perches and are in stress-free conditions, are healthy, they tell the children. As a place for learning for adults or children, it is a very important inn where chickens can be talked about.

It is recommended for those who want to experience ethical consumption and for training for companies, etc. Also, the solid wood chairs built during the woodworking sessions are quite wonderful and unexpectedly authentic, plus it seems there are many things to gain from nature observation.

If you inform them at the time of reservation, they will be able to accommodate dietary preferences like vegetarian.

Toward more cage-free

In Japan, the value of cage-free and free-range has been recognized in recent years, and many people have come to desire the transition to cage-free. The prices often seem to be a bottleneck, but eggs in moderation are sufficient; while doubled price for rice is tough, changing eggs is surprisingly easy. And it’s worth it.

Will you contribute to animals’ suffering, or will you protect the dignity of the animals? It is your problem, and your decision. We hope that more companies will be proud to adopt cage-free, like the Forest Nature School and many other companies that have declared cage-free.
