Ebino Ryofuen is a special nursing home for those who require nursing care level of 4 to 5. The design is based upon the concept of interacting with nature. The site is situated countryside and sandwiched between a river and rice fields. The most fascinating characteristics is the scenery changes dramatically by seasons. The rice fields turn into a beautiful lake as water pulled in, and they become fields of gold during harvesting, as leaves changes to the color of deep crimson. Almost all residents were born and raised at a certain place. I wish that residents would gather vigorously and happily in the homeland landscapes.
