Exploring Collaborative Spaces: OFF TOKYO GRANDE Connects Regions and Cities

Discovering New Collaborative Spaces at OFF TOKYO GRANDE

As Japan continues to embrace innovative approaches for regional and urban synergy, Shibire Co., Ltd. presents a special event titled "OFF TOKYO GRANDE Vol.3". This unique gathering aims to connect entrepreneurs, regional business players, and curious minds in a dynamic environment that celebrates both urban and rural opportunities.

What to Expect?

The event takes place on January 15, 2026, at the Local Hub Space OFF TOKYO in Chuo, Tokyo. It begins at 6:30 PM with registration and kicks off at 7:00 PM with an opening segment, followed by insightful presentations and discussions. Attendees will engage with representatives from two remarkable port cities: Hakodate, with its rich heritage in revitalization, and Iwakuni, known for its forward-looking maritime connections.

Focus on Collaboration and New Insights

The theme of this event, "The Charm and Strength of Regions as Co-Creation Fields," highlights the potential of collaborative endeavors amid contrasting strengths of the cities involved. Hakodate is recognized for its mature port town characteristics, while Iwakuni is evolving as an outward-looking city. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about business ventures, investments, remote collaborations, and entrepreneurship opportunities floating between these urban and rural connections.

Join the various presentations, including government pitches that will cover the latest initiatives from both cities, and enrich your understanding of the beneficial systems in place. There will also be a discussion and Q&A session to allow for deeper interaction and inquiry.

Networking and Local Delicacies

Ending the event on a celebratory note, a networking session featuring local sake and delicacies from Hakodate and Iwakuni will bring attendees together for casual conversations and meaningful connections. Experience the flavors of these regions while discussing innovative ideas and future collaborations.

The event’s participation fee is ¥2,000, covering drinks and local specialties, so don't forget to secure your spot ahead of time! Note that payments will be accepted only through credit cards, QR codes, or transportation IC cards.
