Introducing the Trial Regional Living Program by ANA

All Nippon Airways (ANA) is stepping up efforts to promote the sustainable living model known as regional living through its dedicated portal: ANA's Blue Sky Life. This innovative program, aimed at alleviating social issues such as population decline and aging, is now in its second year. Starting from July 15, 2026, ANA offers a more extensive Trial Regional Living Plan, allowing participants to experience living in various regions of Japan while enjoying numerous benefits.

Expanding Horizons

In its second year, the Trial Regional Living Plan sees an impressive expansion in its target areas, shifting from the previous year’s 3 prefectures and 9 municipalities to a broader reach encompassing 1 prefecture and 20 municipalities. The duration of the program has also been extended by an additional three months, further encouraging individuals to explore this unique lifestyle. Through this initiative, participants can engage with local communities, experiencing the charm and distinct culture of their host areas.

Financial Support Through ANA SKY Coins

A key feature introduced this year is the ANA SKY Coin program, designed to ease the cost burden of travel for participants. By utilizing these electronic coupons, which can be redeemed for flight tickets or travel products, participants are given the freedom to select domestic flights and fares that align with their schedules. This financial support ensures that the transition into a dual-residence lifestyle is as smooth and accessible as possible.

The Essence of Dual Residence

The Trial Regional Living Plan is more than just a temporary stay; it embodies a new lifestyle choice. Participants are encouraged to experience the community's local culture through various unique offerings, all while enjoying the benefits of reduced travel costs. By immersing themselves in different locales, participants can assess the livability of these areas firsthand, paving the way for a potential long-term relocation.
