JAPANESE
Achikochimachi, The Ideal Town
Welcome to Achikochimachi (Cyber City), a neighborhood that is here, there and anywhere. Constructed by students from around the world as a common ground for meeting, doing projects and, above all, for learning languages through interaction and collaboration.

A-chi-ko-chi-ma-chi in Japanese means "the town (machi) that is here and there." It represents the first phase in the development of a wider community of languages and peoples. We do not know exactly how it will grow, from the initial small town that currently has a bookstore, a restaurant, and a hot springs, with a zoo, natural park, amusement park, more restaurants and a school currently under development.
