New Dance Project: Apaman Shop in Tottori
In December 2025, Apaman Co., Ltd., a leading player in the residential rental brokerage industry, proudly introduces the latest installment of its short dance video series, set against the beautiful backdrop of Tottori Prefecture. This new release, titled 'Adventure Dance of the Tottori Sand Dunes', will be available on social media platforms including TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, aiming to promote the charm of Tottori to a younger audience and families alike.
Background and Purpose
This community-driven initiative is designed to highlight the unique attractions of each prefecture, with an emphasis on revitalizing local areas. Through the joyous dancing of our original character, Bear-kun, the project seeks to communicate the allure of Tottori's iconic landscapes and specialties. Furthermore, this endeavor aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 11, focusing on sustainable cities and communities, while also contributing to economic growth in the region through increased social media engagement (Goal 8).
The Adventure Dance of the Tottori Sand Dunes
The video is set against a whimsical backdrop inspired by the Tottori Sand Dunes, featuring Bear-kun and a troupe of adorable white rabbits dancing in synchrony. This vibrant representation captures the scale and fun of the sand dunes perfectly.
Incorporating the legendary story of 'Inaba no Shiro Usagi' (the white rabbit of Inaba), the choreography is designed to be simple and engaging, making it easy for children to replicate. The video includes movements such as the 'Dune Pose' where dancers wave their arms energetically, and a collective farewell gesture at the end, encouraging audience participation through social media dance challenges.
Discovering the Charm of Tottori Living
Tottori Prefecture is nestled between the Sea of Japan and the Chūgoku Mountains, offering residents a close connection to nature and a remarkable change of seasons. Its compact urban areas allow for easy commuting, and just a short drive reveals breathtaking outdoor attractions such as the Tottori Sand Dunes and local hot springs.
The cost of living in Tottori is relatively affordable, making it easier for residents to find spacious homes, including single-family houses with gardens or properties with ample parking. The region is renowned for its fresh seafood and unique produce, like the Twenty Century Pear, as well as its warm and welcoming community relationships. Many families and newcomers have expressed their contentment living in Tottori, calling it a safe and comfortable place to raise children.
Apaman Shop's Local Presence
