Creative Stay provides a minimalist structure of our MiSHŌ residency with the invitation to connect with the local environment on their own terms without obligations. The main purpose of the CS is to be a base dedicated for independent research, experiment, development of projects and contemplation. It is suited for those who seek complete independence and do not require organizational support and coordination.
Fujino train station (12min walk) provides a direct connection to central Tokyo (60min), making it an option for those who wish an access to the city while maintaining a base in nature environment.
OPEN STUDIOS :
There are no public events or community obligations.

LOCATION
In 2025 we established our first base for the residency: a house with spacious garden in the centre of the village, allowing access to the local community and essential amenities. We started the first stage of renovations in 2025 spring with the help of local friends, relying on DIY practices, skill-sharing, and communal collaboration- working until the last minute to welcome the first residents at the end of August.
