Tadaima. You’re home.
Most places welcome you as a visitor. Shimoda welcomes you back.
“Tadaima” — I’m home. “Okaeri” — Welcome back.
These aren’t greetings. They’re what happens when you stop being a guest and start belonging somewhere.
TADAIMA SHIMODA is for people who want more than a destination — a place in the world that remembers them. Live here. Work here. Build friendships that last long after you leave.
When you’re ready, there’s a place in Shimoda waiting for you.
Not connecting “local” and “global” —
dissolving that boundary entirely.
People return not because of place, but because of people.
When real friendships form across language and culture,
something changes — in both directions.
Friendship First
We design for real friendships — not surface-level connections.
Revisit Over Completion
We create experiences that remain unfinished, so people return.
Beyond Language
We prioritize connection that does not rely on language.
Roles, Not Guests
Everyone participates as a contributor, not a consumer.
Space for Emergence
We do not control outcomes — we create conditions.

TADAIMA 2026
Live here. Work here. Belong here.

— they change each other.

Our Coliving: colorful ~TADAIMA elenanchi~
Beyond Borders, Right at Home.
At elenanchi, we believe that “home” exists beyond language and borders. This is a place where the distinction between “local” and “world” disappears, and we simply live as one global family.
You don’t need a specific language to belong here—just a heart that says “TADAIMA.” It’s a “home-base” for every global citizen to breathe, relax, and enjoy the flow of daily life together.
