Experience Aoshima: The AND AOSHIMA Project

Miyazaki Prefecture's Aoshima area is gearing up for an exciting initiative that aims to showcase the region’s natural beauty, rich culture, and culinary delights through the recently launched AND AOSHIMA campaign. Spearheaded by Rebase Inc., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, this local revitalization project aims to attract residents and tourists alike to experience the warmth, scenic beauty, and unique offerings of Aoshima.

The AND AOSHIMA campaign is being executed in collaboration with Libertyship, a subsidiary located in Miyazaki City. The launch of the tourism portal website, AOSHIMA DISCOVERY TOURS, marks a significant milestone in promoting the area’s hidden gems and engaging a broader audience. With its pleasant climate and stunning coastline, Aoshima attracts numerous tourists during the summer, and this initiative seeks to create lasting relationships between visitors and the local community.

Local Connections: & LOCAL Project

Rebase's objective with the AND AOSHIMA initiative is part of their broader vision called & LOCAL, which emphasizes creating a community that becomes a part of daily life for its visitors. This approach was successfully implemented during their previous project, AND IZU, which resulted in actual relocations, highlighting a new relationship between urban and rural residents.

In tandem with the launch of the AOSHIMA DISCOVERY TOURS site, the campaign will feature guided tours and activities designed to immerse visitors in the region's nature, culture, and food. People can engage with these offerings both before and after their visit, enhancing their overall experience of Aoshima’s allure.

Special Stay Plans

The AND AOSHIMA campaign will present diverse programs such as the AOSHIMA TRIAL STAY for individuals and the AOSHIMA OFFSITE for corporate groups. Each plan is designed to leverage the region's unique resources — nature, culture, and cuisine — through engaging experiences.

AOSHIMA TRIAL STAY (For Individuals)

The AOSHIMA TRIAL STAY offers a unique opportunity for individuals to live, work, and play in Aoshima. Local residents will guide participants for two days, introducing them to the beauty of the area from arrival to departure. Guests can partake in a “one-day store experience” with a local business, gaining insight into life in Aoshima that goes beyond mere tourism.

AOSHIMA OFFSITE (For Corporates)

The AOSHIMA OFFSITE program is tailored for corporate teams looking to deepen their connection in a refreshing environment. Participants will utilize the AOSHIMA PICNIC CLUB’s coworking space and glamping facilities over two days to engage in team-building activities amid Aoshima's natural splendor. The program includes focused sessions, brainstorming walks along the coast, and team BBQs fostering innovation and camaraderie that are often absent in daily routines.
