IKUHART Planning

 

 Ikuha, located in the northwest of the Awaji Island, faces the Harima Sea and is a fishing town. This region is also known as Nishiura and is a scenic spot with magnificent sunsets. Ikuha has a deep connection with iron. The still existent Gossakaito Ruins are where iron processing took place during the ancient Yayoi period. With the aim of harnessing the charm of Ikuha and its various resources, the name "IKUHART Planning" was chosen, incorporating the meaning of
"Ikuha, Heart, Art."
It is a place to gather, interact, and enjoy.
