"Iwanuma Sheep Village" is home to about 30 grazing sheep at a sheep ranch created with local residents in the disaster-stricken coastal area of Iwanuma City. Around the sheep ranch, we maintain farms, a dog run park (separate charge) and an open space. We aim to be a place that connects "people with people," "people to resources," and "past memories with the future," just like spinning wool is knitted together into one item from various parts.
