Remote Island "Nishinoshima" Life & Work: Relocation Experience Tour & Post-Tour Seminar to Find a New You

About this event

In Nishinoshima, embraced by the stunning scenery of the Oki Islands UNESCO Global Geopark, a relocation experience tour and follow-up seminar will be held to discover island life, work, and a new self. On this tour, participants can experience everyday life on a remote island while encountering local people and a nature-rich environment where cows and horses roam freely. As a tour highlight, trekking along the Oki Kuniga Coast visiting sites such as Matengai Cliff, Tsutenkyo Arch, and Kannon-iwa Rock offers spectacular natural landscapes. In addition, town introduction at the Nishinoshima Town Office, visits to community facilities, shops, and trial housing, as well as a social gathering with local residents and previous relocators provide opportunities to directly resolve questions about living and working on the island. Furthermore, activities such as an earth-dyeing workshop using red clay from Nishinoshima and visits to local revitalization businesses like "Nishinoshima Works" and "Alternative Port Co., Ltd." will help participants clearly envision island workstyles and community involvement. After the tour, an in-person follow-up seminar will be held in Tokyo, allowing participants and related personnel to discuss impressions from the tour and future relationships with Nishinoshima. For anyone even slightly interested in living and working on a remote island, this tour offers a prime opportunity to deeply discover the charm of Nishinoshima and reflect on their own future.
