Budo sansho as a career
Live in the city and work
in the mountains
If you are longing for a life surrounded by nature, but also don’t want to sacrifice the convenience of the city, I recommend living in the west side of Aridagawa. While being close to nature, there are the conveniences of shopping, and an excellent place for raising children. In addition, it is close to the highway entrance, so it is very easy to access to the city. Due to my wife’s work schedule, I used to live with my family in a town next to Aridagawa.
Since having children, I have been enjoying outdoor activities such as day camping with my family, and there is also a beautiful sea in the southern part of Wakayama. My time outside of work is also very fulfilling. I think this is the perfect location for those who are thinking of moving here with their families, or those who are anticipating changes in their life stages such as marriage and having children.

My family has been a great help to me. In particular, my wife, who worked in the apparel industry for a long time, is very good at working with computers, so I rely on her to update the website and managing the online store. If it were up to me alone, I probably wouldn't even be able to upload images (lol).
But if I’m honest, it will take a good deal of preparation and time to start farming. It may be difficult to make a living using only budo sansho as a source of income. That's why I’m working on the agricultural diversification of budo sansho, where I not only produce but process and handle the sales by myself.
Currently, there are about 200 budo sansho farmers in the Shimizu region of Aridagawa. However, the generation above me is in their 60s. It is obvious that the industry will continue to decline, which is why I think it is a worthy challenge for younger generation with the creative drive, energy and IT literacy to take on.
I would be happy to help those who are thinking about farming, so I hope that those who are thinking about their future lifestyle, I really recommend giving it a serious thought.
Now is an important time to protect the region, the brand, and the tradition, and budo sansho is a valuable commodity that still has a lot of potential, so this is my open invitation to unravel its possibilities.
