Iworu

IWORU, an ancient Ainu word meaning ‘field’, encapsulates the richness of a river basin and its biodiversity, weaving together myths about bears, salmon and oak trees. Our approach is based on the geographical, ecological and anthropological interpretation of the human environment, drawing on the physical characteristics and natural attributes of the land.

Our projects aim to gain a comprehensive understanding of our environment, foster models of coexistence amongst all stakeholders in the region, and pass on ancestral knowledge to create more liveable and enjoyable environments. Through active tourism, we bring research and scientific outreach to the general public.

We offer educational tours, hiking, environmental interpretation and the observation of flora and fauna, all in small groups. In addition, we provide regional and environmental training for those interested in deepening their connection with nature.
