The village is situated on two floating islands, which hover several hundred feet above the forest grove. The islands have a temperate climate, and those areas not taken up by buildings or workspaces are grass with trees growing wherever they have space. Most of the residential houses have kitchen gardens, fences are replaced by low hedges, or flower beds, and there are several shared greens.
