Bouton/Bokakuan is a space created by renovating a former craft store and residence in a corner of a shopping street in Nogata City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The banks of the Onga River, which flows through the center of the city, and Mount Fukuchi, which can be viewed from the riverbed, are very beautiful. The city center, where time flows peacefully, is a place where you can spend your time at a leisurely pace. I enjoy listening to people's stories, reading books, taking photos, and taking walks.

We renovated a store and residence that was formerly a handicraft store. It is a space that has been carefully nurtured by combining old and new.
Bouton: A place that creates a quiet flow that connects places that pass from one small town to another.
