Have you ever wanted to live surrounded by manufacturing?

The Echizen Sabae area of Fukui Prefecture is a manufacturing site where seven local industries are rooted.
It is a town with active interaction between artisans and immigrants, and which has constantly adopted new ideas.
You are attracted to the keywords "rural life" and "traditional crafts," but you don't know how to act. For those of you who feel the same way, why not get in touch with the "makers, communicators, and users" who live in Echizen Sabae, the town that created Japan's largest open factory event?
