Nauru Government Tourism Office Revives Nauru x Aogashima Comparison Badges

The Nauru Government Tourism Office has announced the return of its popular Nauru x Aogashima comparison badges, priced at 980 yen (including tax and shipping). This initiative aims to foster a sense of connection with the Republic of Nauru by allowing individuals to compare the sizes of Nauru Island and Aogashima. The project also seeks to elevate Aogashima's recognition and contribute to the promotion of local souvenirs.

Nauru, a small island nation located in the Pacific Ocean, is participating in the Osaka-Kansai Expo, where it has set up a pavilion showcasing its culture and tourism offerings. The tourism office is working diligently alongside the Nauru pavilion to increase awareness of the Republic of Nauru within Japan.

In a bid to promote both Nauru and local regions in Japan, the Nauru Government is exploring various merchandising options. A partnership with Tottori Prefecture to sell comparison badges is on the horizon in light of an agreement established during the Expo.

Product Details

The Nauru x Aogashima comparison badge features notable geographic names and facilities from both locations, serving as a handy reference for anyone needing to compare the two islands. The badge measurements are 77mm x 51mm and it is designed with a safety pin backing for easy attachment. Each badge is individually packaged in OPP wrap to ensure quality.

Collaboration Opportunities for Retailers

Additionally, there is an option for retail stores to purchase a set of 50 badges for 39,800 yen (tax and shipping included). Stores that acquire these sets can request to be featured on the Nauru Government's X account, which currently has about 530,000 followers (as of July 23, 2025). This promotion is available to stores outside of Aogashima as well.
