MAKINOHA LAB
A former school where learning, work and community meet.
Based in the former Katahama Elementary School in Makinohara, we design corporate training, education support, room use, equipment rental and local co-creation programs.
LEARNING COMMONS
We turn a school building, nature and local relationships into practical learning fields.
Makinoha Lab connects people, companies, families and local partners through programs that are easier to understand by experiencing them directly.
Outdoor training that brings real teamwork into view.
We design hands-on training programs in Makinohara using nature, the schoolyard and overnight stays to build trust, communication and action plans that carry back to work.
EducationLearning support from children to adults.
Our education programs include Ippo / Ippo+, Japanese-language support for children with roots overseas, and IT education such as programming and generative AI classes.
Ippo / Ippo+A place where children can learn Japanese and feel connected.
Ippo supports children and families in Portuguese, English and Japanese so that school life, learning and local communication become easier to navigate.

Detailed pages are being expanded step by step.
At this stage, the English page works as an entrance for visitors from outside Japan. Some detailed pages are still mainly in Japanese, and full translations can be added after the Japanese copy is finalized.
