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, will open a new share house, "Roopt Ishinomaki Hagurocho," in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture in January 2024!
This share house with guest rooms utilizes a renovated vacant detached house. 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 join the renovation.
To celebrate the unveiling of this share house, "created 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.
After the 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 a new share house, please feel free to join us!

Background of Vacant House Acquisition
We acquired a 44-year-old detached house located on Mt. Haguro overlooking Ishinomaki Station.
It had been vacant since the owner stopped living there, and around March last year, Makigumi was consulted about its potential utilization.
Despite the handicap of being on a retaining wall and requiring extensive renovations, we felt the potential in its good sunlight, cool breezes in summer, and the old well on the premises. Makigumi acquired it and proceeded with renovation work.
We aim to achieve a good balance between spaciousness and usability, not just for residents but also for local people.
