A "kotatsu" appears in Shibuya!?

Kamikawa Town in Hokkaido will be holding an urban exchange event in Shibuya with the goal of "Inspiring 100 Million People."

This event is not about tourism or immigration,
This is an experiential event themed around the "third option" of continuing to be involved with the town.

At the talk show, guests who are actually involved with Kamikawa Town will appear.
We will talk about town development, working styles, and how to interact with the local community.
The talk was hosted by a comedian from Hokkaido.
The program will feature dialogue with guests, making it enjoyable even for first-time viewers.

There will also be a social booth set up at the venue where people can chat around a kotatsu.
Not only can you listen to the talk, but you can also talk directly with guests and people involved with Kamikawa Town.
"What is happening in Kamikawa Town?" "How can you get involved?"
You can easily find out.

If you are interested in Hokkaido and local initiatives,
For those who are not thinking about moving but would like to get involved in the local area
This is a recommended event.
