We Cultivate for Posterity
Anai Wood Factory, established in 1964, is a small sawmill with strong roots in the Aso region. We specialize in manufacturing and selling building materials made from the locally inherited Oguni cedar and cypress, and we also have a brand for consumer goods. Our aspiration is to pass on fertile land and a thriving sea to future generations. To achieve this goal, we conduct our business with a strong commitment to the well-being of the bountiful forests in the area.
