The Heart of
Kinomorio Landscape Studio
We don't just plant gardens. We cultivate living ecosystems that bridge the gap between human architecture and the wild soul of the forest.
Discover Our Rooted Logic
What does 'Kinomorio' really mean?
In Japanese, 'Kino' represents the tree, and 'Morio' signifies the forest guardian. Together, Kinomorio Landscape Studio embodies our mission to serve as stewards for Tokyo's urban canopy. We've spent 12 years perfecting the art of the Miyawaki method adapted for private residencies.
Why settle for a sterile lawn when you can have a self-sustaining biodiversity hub? Our team utilizes organic, locally-sourced materials. We blend traditional techniques with cutting-edge sustainable planting to ensure your space thrives for generations.
Biodiversity First Enhancing urban life through native species.
Circular Design Using reclaimed stones and organic mulching.
Our Fundamental Pillars
Integrity in design is non-negotiable. We're committed to these four principles in every project along Gaien Nishi Dori and beyond.
Soulful Design
Space is not static; it breathes. We design for the sensory experience of every season.
Longevity
A garden isn't finished when we leave. It's built to mature beautifully over decades.
Sustainability
Zero-waste construction and water-wise irrigation are at our absolute core.
Community
Landscape design is social. We create spaces that bring families and neighbors together.
Kinomorio Landscape Studio transformed our concrete Shibuya rooftop into a lush, private sanctuary. We didn't just get a garden; we got a new room for our home that smells like the deep Japanese woods.
