I.
Stay — reading places to dwell in.
Quietude, nature, culture, access, hot springs — five parameters layered to reveal land where the days settle slowly.
VOLUME I — QUIET JAPAN
The Japan
unphotographed.
Three readings of every place in Japan —
for Stay, for Multibase, for Inbound.
Five parameters, one quiet way to find your second base.

METHODOLOGY
We read places.
II.
Multibase — reading the line between two homes.
Telework and trips. The texture of depopulated countryside and the function of regional cities. The autonomy of islands. We assemble what makes a second base livable.
III.
Inbound — reading where the world is welcomed.
The density of heritage, the singularity of nature, the presence of stations and airports, the world heritage sites. The third reading: where visitors from abroad can be quietly received.
National normalization. Outlier correction. Latitude debiasing. Missing-data imputation.

A NOTE FROM AURA
AURA is not another «top 10» list.
It is a quiet algorithm that learns the texture of every place — and matches it to yours.
