Regenerative Japan's Collaborative Effort for Local Business Development

Regenerative Japan Inc., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, under the leadership of CEO Shingo Teramoto, has officially launched a new initiative aimed at revitalizing local businesses through collaboration with YRK and Intrans. This project, titled "Regional Business Creation and Revitalization," seeks to operate and manage local resources effectively on a global scale, transcending traditional concepts of regional revitalization.

Background of the Project

In recent years, the rise of destination management organizations (DMOs) as part of national policies has led to an increase in tourism development corporations. However, many areas continue to struggle with partial branding efforts that do not reach broader domestic markets, and reliance on certain subsidies. This situation has resulted in notable challenges across various tourism spots, where low recognition on a global scale and a focus on day trips fail to cultivate sustainable local consumption and longer stays, thereby impacting business viability.

To fully capitalize on the unique resources and charm each region possesses, a more holistic approach is needed—one that extends beyond superficial branding and traditional product development. This involves comprehensive destination design, business model establishment, financing, operations, and attracting visitors from outside the region, including international travelers.

What Regenerative Japan Aims to Achieve

The inception of Regenerative Japan stems from a desire to reassess and elevate the value of unique regional resources nurtured over generations. The aim is to create a circular economy that enriches the local community by fostering robust local businesses. The project's collaboration among Regenerative Japan, YRK, and Intrans will leverage each of their strengths for maximum impact.

Comprehensive Project Support Structure

The collaborative efforts among the three companies will be based on their respective areas of expertise:

• - Regenerative Japan: Establishment and management of local businesses, operational support.
• - YRK: Regional branding initiatives.
• - Intrans: Hotel brand attraction and management of hospitality services.

This collaborative project promises to deliver several advantages:

1. Integrated Project Support: From creating comprehensive designs for the region to developing long-term roadmaps, this initiative connects various elements—finance, visitor attraction strategies, and operational frameworks—to craft viable business models tailored to regional business needs. Key aspects include optimizing hard infrastructure like hotels and transportation, enhancing local products and attractions’ value, implementing digital transformation in tourism, organizing events, utilizing IP content, leveraging influencer marketing, and fostering human resources crucial to the sustaining of these businesses. By connecting these elements instead of offering isolated support, the initiative aims to boost not only short-term successes but also long-term economic independence for the region.

2. Global Perspective on Regional Branding: By rediscovering Japan's local assets—natural landscapes, food, products, businesses, facilities, and cultural traditions—this project seeks to enhance their appeal based on foreign insights, thus constructing a globally recognized regional brand. This effort intends to promote increased access to international markets and attract luxury clientele from abroad.

3. Local Stakeholder Engagement: Engaging local stakeholders, including government bodies, businesses, residents, and financial institutions, will foster effective management of regional enterprises. By establishing a unique identity based on local ownership, the project will catalyze the creation of high-value urban development initiatives.

Expected Outcomes

Through this project, various qualitative and quantitative effects are anticipated for the region:

• - Sales Growth: Increased inbound tourism and enhanced regional brand value will allow for higher product and service prices.
• - Operational Efficiency: By becoming a coveted destination, marketing investments will decrease, facilitating efficient operations.
• - Cost Reduction: The increase in tourism and relocations along with business expansions will contribute to boosted tax revenues, job creation, and improved real estate valuations.
• - Community Engagement: Heightened local attachment will lead to more community-driven initiatives, improving regional economic productivity.

Regenerative Japan is committed to contributing to the establishment of sustainable and self-reliant local economies. This project embodies a shift away from conventional notions of revitalization towards a proactive creation of business that energizes local communities, marking a new era in regional management and collaborative branding efforts.
