Born in Hokkaido, Japan in 1987.
He grew up in an environment where nature and people coexist in a rural town with a stream inhabited by fireflies, rural scenery, and satoyama, which became the starting point of his own landscape.
As a student, he majored in bioscience and received a Master’s degree in Science and Technology from Keio University. After graduation, he worked as an overseas sales representative for a trading company. At that time, he realized the importance of greenery in urban areas and decided to become a landscape architect, studying landscape design at Kyoto University of Art and Design while working.
After that, he worked in the Kanetsuna landscape design office as a landscaper to make tea gardens and FUJI UEKI Co., Ltｄ., as a landscape designer and constructor foreman for large-scale Japanese gardens.
Established Ryoji Nakayama Landscape Design in 2019.
