About

Welcome to "Mori no Uro." An ”Uro” is a hollow in the trunk of a tree. In the forest, many creatures share these hollows, using them as homes. Inspired by this, we’ve created a place here in Minami Aso where people from diverse professions can gather―just like forest creatures―to think, to create, and to connect. Ideas, products, and art born here are original expressions that could only emerge from this place, this community, and these shared experiences. Together with everyone who gathers at Mori no Uro, we aim to cultivate "Made in Minami Aso" as a brand rooted in our shared creativity.

Place

Minami Aso Village sits in the southern part of the Nango Valley, nestled within the massive Aso Caldera―formed long ago through volcanic activity. From the sweeping views of the Aso Five Peaks to the surrounding outer rim mountains, this land offers breathtaking natural beauty in every season. It’s also a region known for its abundant spring water, so much so that it’s called "the birthplace of water." Blessed with rich soil and a deep connection to nature, this village lives and breathes alongside the Aso Caldera.

Detail

Mori no Uro is a membership-based community―free to join. Artists, designers, engineers, and creators from various fields come together to collaborate and bring unique products to life―whether tangible items or experiences. The products developed here are sold through Mori no Uro and our online shop. 20% of the proceeds support the space's operations, while the rest is returned to the creators. Through markets, events, and crowdfunding, we spread our concepts and gather the support to bring ideas into reality. Members can freely use the space.
