Subscription-based second home serviceSANU 2nd Home." I found this service to be very attractive in that I could and would like to go to a place where nature is abundant.
Muramatsu:. "SANU" is a remarkable service, isn't it? As a pet theory, I also believe that it is important to "go back and forth" to delve into the charms of a community. By going back and forth, both the experience and the relationship with the community will build up, and you will feel closer to the community.

I wonder if the Inadani area would be a so-called "retreat" place for Muramatsu-san, considering his lifestyle.
Muramatsu:I've been thinking about what makes a retreat, and for me personally, it's about how I can get offline. Also, physical movement is very important, and moving my body from point A to point B really helps me switch my mindset.
So, from my point of view, an hour on the bullet train between Tokyo and Miyota is too short (laughs). I'd really like to have another hour or so. . I'm consciously going offline during that trip.

For example, what do photographers who traveled and took photos before the Corona think and do now that they can no longer travel?
Sooner or later, we will probably have to switch from gasoline cars to EVs. . But it's not like everyone is going to abandon their gasoline-powered cars all together tomorrow and switch to EVs. So, how do we deal with gasoline-powered cars and how do we switch to them? This is one of the interesting themes for us as a media outlet.
The "noru studio" operated by the company is a studio that can accommodate cars for photo shoots, and is highly valued within the industry.
. A fully EV car can travel about 300 km on a full charge, right?
Muramatsu:Yes, I agree. For example, people who only drive around their homes may not need such a high-spec car to cover some of their needs. . It seems to me that from now on, people will be able to choose a more appropriate car for their lifestyle.
