At present, it is a challenge for Noshima to utilize local resources and promote inter-regional exchange because of its dwindling population. This project was designed as a collaboration by Yamaguchi Prefecture, Hofu City, and Yamaguchi Prefectural University with the aim of rediscovering local resources and the inherent charm of Noshima and activating exchanges between residents and people living outside
the island. For this particular project, we conducted activities to discover local resources and introduce them to the world.
* This is an initial project which is part of the "Special Measures for Mountainous and Mountainous Area Promotion", conducted by Yamaguchi Prefecture.
