Shunran-no-Sato
Shunran-no-Sato is the name of a part of the village of Noto-Peninsula in Japan. It was first globally introduced in 2010 by the excursion from the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP10), and also featured in 2011 by the BBC World Challenge for its innovative project for local revitalization at a grass roots level.

History
The first cottage, in Japanese Nouka-Minshuku similar to Farm-inn, in Shunran-no-Sato was built in 1997 to attract tourists. In 2010, Shunran-no-Sato accepted the excursion from COP10 appreciating its abundant nature mixed with its unique local culture, and in 2011 it was nominated to be the 4th place in the competition of the BBC World Challenge for its innovative attempt to revitalize the depopulated area. In 2013, Naruhito, Crown Prince of Japan also visited the place and admired villagers' effot. The number of the tourists is over 10,000 a year as of 2016 and the cottages increased up to 49.
