Celebrating Nagano Through Dance: Apaman Shop's Latest Project
Apaman Network Inc. (based in Chiyoda, Tokyo), renowned for holding the top position in rental housing brokerage, has launched the 20th edition of their dance project across Japan's 47 prefectures. The latest installment, titled "The Aroma of Shinshu Soba and Wasabi," will be released on September 17, 2025. This creative initiative features their beloved mascot, Beary, who will perform a dance that highlights the beauty and culinary offerings of Nagano Prefecture.
Background and Objectives
This project aims to promote local cultures and foster community revitalization through engaging dance performances. Beary, with his cheerful and energetic movements, will take center stage, showcasing the iconic landscapes and specialties of Nagano. This initiative not only celebrates local charm but also contributes to the sustainability goals of the SDGs, particularly Goal 11, which focuses on creating sustainable cities and communities, and Goal 8, which promotes economic growth and decent work.
Highlights of the Nagano Edition
The Nagano edition emphasizes the region's famous products: "Shinshu Soba" (buckwheat noodles) and "Hon Wasabi" (true wasabi). Beary's dance conveys the essence of Nagano's culinary culture with lively and humorous choreography. Expect to see him mimic the traditional gestures of preparing soba and reacting to the pungent scent of wasabi, all while embodying the spirit of a "rich and flavorful lifestyle" unique to Nagano Prefecture. The performance intends to visually communicate the local food culture, making it appealing to a broad audience.
Why Nagano?
Nestled within stunning natural scenery, Nagano Prefecture is characterized by its beautiful seasons and refreshing climate. It boasts clear mountain air and abundant water resources, coupled with numerous hot spring resorts that provide daily healing experiences. Renowned as a summer retreat and winter sports destination, including skiing and snowboarding, Nagano has a strong appeal for families, given its robust healthcare and educational facilities. Additionally, its accessibility from Tokyo via the Shinkansen (bullet train) makes it an attractive place for telecommuters and those looking to relocate, combining urban amenities with a serene natural environment.
