THE ORIGINS OF GREEN PEACE HOUSE

Twelve years have passed since we first established Green Peace House. We started Green Peace House upon our return to Japan following our various travels around the world. We recognized the need for a fully furnished, clean, quiet and cheap place for foreigners in Japan to live together blending their own cultures with that of Japan. After selecting a beautiful old traditional wooden house, secluded yet conveniently located in Tokyo with a family atmosphere, we opened Green Peace House for both short and long-term guests, students, trainees, travelers and other visitors to Japan.


The name of our house, GREEN PEACE, is not to be confused with the international Greenpeace environmental organization. Instead, our house name was chosen as a play on the words "Green Peas" which we feel symbolize the spirit of our house. Just as the inside of a pea pod has many peas of different shapes, sizes, and colors, so too does Green Peace have within it people of many different nationalities and backgrounds, many who have lived here in the past and who often return to stay again. Secondly, the word "Green" is used in reference to "Nature", and "Peace" is, of course, in reference to "Harmony". Thus we seek friends of all nationalities who love both nature and peace. We look forward to seeing you in Tokyo!
