ABOUT US

“KURASHINONE” is the name of our place.

Geodesic dome greenhouse with bath. Catching heat with water then heat up with firewood. The thermal heat slowly gives out during night keeping greenhouse warm. We use the bath water for laundry next morning. CATCH/STORE/CYCLE

Workshop: 2,360W solar panels to charge our EV. The point is charging not through battery but a secondhand power conditioner. Named SOL(Mitsubishi minicab MiEV) & SUN(Mitsubishi i-MiEV) Both EVs have LTO batteries(Toshiba SCiB)

House

We moved this place January, 2019. There was no sight of the house from the entrance when we decided to start our new life here. Clearing up bushes and bamboos, built a bamboo deck and set up a tent. That was how we started. Then Nobu built a tiny hut in December, 2019. Since then we build a geodesic dome greenhouse, another tiny house for guest then a workshop. For the workshop Nobu harvested Japanese cedar from our property using timber flame technic to build.
Now we live in a bigger tiny house (33㎡).

Self build

Power

We started 180W solar panels and 400W battery. We upgraded the system sine then. Our EVs got 10.5kW battery capacity each which gives us about 100km×2 drive. Our EVs are powered by sun no more fossil fuel.
