We can see a lot of efforts to keep old streets and houses to use continuously them for every day life, business and activities at Okura. They manage Akashi house of Kobe gakuin University Area study Center and use old Oshio house for the presentation of study of University and interaction with the population. Machi no Terakoya Helps people regardless of generation to interact. They converted a mud-walled store house into Wakura and use as “the classroom to learn right know ledge about healthy family”.They reused another old house as a restaurant.
