Background
-
In 2005, a naturalist Shuji Yunoki successfully got 6 Nohaku houses on board. They launched “Island as Museum Project” to establish “Tsushima-gaku” – to make Tsushima a place to learn.
-
Mr. Yunoki passed away unexpectedly, and the project stopped. Since then, its office moved to Tsushima-City agricultural and forestry Mushroom section. As the new place is public sector, commercialisation and sales were not allowed.
-
In 2014, standardisation of prices and services, safety and sanitation management, etc. were started to proceed in the course of privatising this project.
-
In 2016, this project was privatised.
