No hurry.
Just village life.

Edo Mura is a village observation app. Residents go about their work and spend time with family and friends on their own. Follow someone who catches your eye, or take in the whole village. There is no need to direct every little action.

01

Seasons & weather

Cherry blossoms in spring, cicadas in summer, autumn colors and winter snow. Rain, wind and the time of day give the village a different feel.

02

People & families

Villagers have names, jobs and people they are close to. Watch families share their days, children grow up and residents grow older.

03

Work & play

Farming, sweeping, fishing and quiet breaks by the river. Children form small groups and play in different corners of the village.

04

Festivals & traditions

Cherry blossom viewing, Tanabata, Bon dancing, moon viewing, rice-cake pounding and New Year shrine visits bring people together throughout the year.

05

Memories & village news

Shared moments and village events become part of the record. Browse a resident’s memories or catch up through the village newsletter.

06

Music & natural sounds

Seasonal and festival music meets rivers, rain, birds, insects and the sounds of daily life. Adjust music, sound effects and timer alerts separately.

A rhythm of your own

A village beside
your working day.

The focus timer alternates work and rest. Choose a 10-, 25- or 50-minute session, or the 52/17 routine: 52 minutes of focus followed by a 17-minute break. The timer runs independently of the village speed.
