Celebrating One Year of OFF TOKYO

In a world where geographical boundaries are swiftly becoming irrelevant, Shibire Inc. is championing a lifestyle that transcends traditional urban-centric norms. With a vision encapsulated in "OFF TOKYO," the company is advocating for a life that embraces regional diversity and varied work styles.

The gathering will feature seven Local Directors, passionate individuals who have made the brave choice to live and work in areas outside of Tokyo. They will share their stories, revealing the motivations behind their decisions to move away from the capital, the transformations they have experienced, and the authentic realities of their current work and activities.

The event will serve as a platform for these Local Directors to discuss how they promote the unique charm of their regions. Importantly, it will connect the venue to various local communities, sharing the authentic essence of an "OFF TOKYO" lifestyle. The schedule for the evening includes:
