Treehouses are structures built on or incorporating real, live trees, which are referred to as “host trees.” The host tree of Tategamori Ark Farm’s treehouse is a zelkova aged approx. 100 years. The treehouse was named Kukunochi after the tree deity described in the Nihon Shoki (Chronicles of Japan). Tategamori Ark Farm hopes the treehouse will provide enjoyment to farm visitors, and will also attract more visitors to the Tohoku region, thereby helping the region recover from the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Tategamori Ark Farm’s treehouse takes part in the 100 Tree Houses project proposed by copywriter Shigesato Itoi to support the Tohoku region’s post-earthquake recovery.
