Ecologically oriented coliving and coworking set-ups exist along several distinct dimensions. These include spectrums such as (a) secular versus religious/spiritual, (b) ecologically tokenistic versus thoroughgoing, (c) individualist versus collectivist, (d) default system compliant versus off-the-grid and experimental, (e) economically embedded versus outside the money economy, and (f) socially (demographically) homogenous versus heterogeneous. Their diversity along every dimension cannot be subsumed into a single category of representation. However, their shared goal of developing alternative models of ecological and communal coliving and coworking allows for a pluralistic approach to studying how they create implicit or explicit ecosocial contracts. This chapter discusses how ecovillages in Japan measure up along each of these dimensions. Our research examining ecovillages in Japan ranges from analyzing corporate headquarters relocating to beautiful rural settings during the pandemic with 1200 of their employees to provoke a corporate re-ruralization movement under sustainability auspices, to permaculture-inspired traditional satoyama farming communities. How “eco” and how much of a “village” each coliving and coworking arrangement amounts to (and the degree to which these two aspects are enmeshed) varies widely. Some are less ecological and with looser social cohesion; others much more so. This contribution assesses ecological commitment and outcomes both in the short- and long-term, as well as intersections with social welfare improvements and the degree of decision-making decentralization and communing. Our preliminary results suggest that social and ecological commitments track together, forming mutually reinforcing relationships.
