On Saturday, January 27, 2024, we will open a new share house, "Roopt Ishinomaki Hagurocho," in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture!
To commemorate the opening, we will hold a DIY workshop to make Sankaku planters that will decorate Roopt Ishinomaki Hagurocho!
Makigumi, which renovates vacant houses and utilizes them as share houses, etc., will open a new share house, "Roopt Ishinomaki Hagurocho," in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture in January 2024!
This share house with a guest room utilizes a renovated vacant detached house, and many people from both inside and outside Miyagi Prefecture, not just Makigumi, actively participated in the renovation process, including one person who commuted from Tokyo once a month to help with the renovation.
To celebrate the unveiling of this share house "made by everyone," we will hold a Sankaku planter making workshop on the afternoon of Saturday, January 27, the opening day!
A Sankaku planter is a planter that can also be used as a bench, made by combining wooden boards, and as the name suggests, it's a cute planter made by combining triangles.
Even after opening, we want to make it a share house where various people, not just residents, can get involved, so everyone is welcome to participate in this workshop!
If you like DIY, or want to take a peek at the new share house, please feel free to join us!

Background of acquiring the vacant house
We acquired a 44-year-old detached house on Mt. Haguro overlooking Ishinomaki Station.
The house had been vacant since the owner stopped living there, and last March, we were consulted by Makigumi about whether it could be utilized.
Although the handicap of being on a retaining wall and the many areas requiring renovation were drawbacks, we felt the potential in its good sunlight, cool breezes in summer, and the old well on the premises. Makigumi acquired it and has been proceeding with renovation work.
We wanted to achieve a good balance between spaciousness and ease of use, not just for residents but also for local people.
