About GAMP Village
— A Place to Live Your True Self, Together with Nature —
GAMP Village is a small community that cherishes living true to yourself, in harmony with nature.
Here, learning, living, eating, creating—
all the activities that shape our lives—are gently connected.
The word GAMP carries the meaning of “Go At My Pace.”
It reminds us to live without comparison, without pressure, and with our inner voice at the center.
Here, through nature and human connection, we rediscover that way of living.
At the heart of the village stands GAMP HOUSE, a 200-year-old farmhouse lovingly restored into a guesthouse.
Nearby is GAMP Chaya, where you can enjoy additive-free meals made with locally grown vegetables.
Akanuma GAMP Community Farm, where crops are grown naturally without pesticides.
And GAMP Total Education Support, which supports children and their families.
What all these places share is a warm connection—
between people, and between people and nature.
Whether you come to visit or to work, you become part of the village—
living, even briefly, as one of its people.
Coming to GAMP Village means stepping away from convenience
and giving your heart a chance to return to itself.
In this village—where the sounds of nature, the warmth of shared meals,
and the smiles of people come together—
please take your time and move at your own pace.
The Heart of GAMP Village
— A Place Where Nature, People, and the Heart Flow Together —
Nurturing Your True Self
GAMP Village is a place where anyone can live at their own pace.
Here, you are free from comparison and hurry—
a place where you can accept yourself just as you are.
Through learning and experience, we nurture the small, growing seed of one’s true self.
Where People and Nature Connect
Living, eating, and creating within the blessings of nature.
By touching the soil and feeling the wind, we are reminded that we are being supported and sustained by life itself.
At GAMP Village, we cherish the relationship in which people and nature support one another.
Carrying Our Values Into the Future
We inherit the wisdom of the past and breathe new life into it.
This sense of circulation—of giving and receiving—lives at the heart of GAMP Village.
Passing kindness and wisdom on to the next generation—
that is the hope of GAMP Village.

Message from the Founder
— A Life Held Between Nature and People —
GAMP Village was created to step away from convenience and speed,
and to reclaim the time for people to live in a way that feels true to themselves.
Our guiding words are “Go At My Pace.”
Children and adults alike are enough—
with what they can do, and with what they cannot.
By living in nature, working with our hands, and sharing moments of laughter,
the heart gently realigns itself and finds the strength to move forward again.
GAMP Village is not a special place.
It simply brings out the kindness and connection that already live within each of us.
We hope to carry this small light into the future—
together with you.
— TADA, Chief of GAMP Village
