New people brought in by social networking sites that I didn't believe in.
Sato-san, through "The TINY INN" and "Delta EAST", how do you want to make Fussa more vibrant in the future?
Sato:. Currently, the center of the economy is located in central Tokyo. I created "The TINY INN" in the hope that the experience of staying in the city of Fussa will help people come to love Fussa. I hope it will be a catalyst for projects such as "TAKIGAHARA FARM" in Ishikawa Prefecture, which Mr. Kurosaki is working on, where people from overseas move to a local place and gather together.
I would like to ask Mr. Kurosaki again about the current status of "TAKIGAHARA FARM".
Kurosaki:It's deep in the mountains of Ishikawa Prefecture , and it's a place where we are exploring a new lifestyle based on agriculture. There are accommodations and other facilities, and about 15 foreigners are living here. They are here not because they were invited, but because the cost of living is low, the food is good, and the environment is pleasant. A total of 30 to 40 Japanese people have come to live in this marginalized community. There is a farm, and gradually there are people who can create places where people can stay overnight, serve delicious food, and so on. There are a lot of interesting people here. It's a little something, and I think you'll be surprised when you come.
Sato:The world is gradually changing, with more and more people living in two locations, including locally, and the idea that "Takigahara Farm" is not cool because it is in the countryside is changing. People are now living in two locations, including locally, and the world is gradually changing. I am surprised that people from such places have actually come to Fussa. Hip style is part of Fussa's DNA, so of course it is good, but it is no use unless new people keep coming to Fussa.
Sato:. Actually, I never believed in social networking sites such as Instagram until I saw a TikTok video of a girl getting off at Fussa station and walking down Route 16 to this location. But I saw a TikTok video of a girl getting off at Fussa station and walking down Route 16 to this location. People who would never have come to Fussa before came to see the video, such as those who came from Setagaya after watching it, or those who came after taking a picture of a sign they saw on a friend's Instagram page. I feel that we are now in an age of communication.
Kurosaki:The way they get information is totally different from the way it used to be. Young people don't watch TV at all, they are on TikTok or Instagram. . So, it would be great if we could get young people to join in and lead the way, or if we could have someone who can write a blog with powerful words. We could also create a theme for a certain day of the month and gather people and have them spread the information, which is a different approach from so-called TV advertising. . It would be interesting to have a podcast or something like that on a regular basis.
Sato:Sounds interesting. We would love to try our hand at it!
Nakajima:For example, let's have people who drive American cars (American cars) gather in the town of Fussa, say 100 cars. . It doesn't have to be cars, and it could be people on motorcycles, if they want to get together. We want to do something really cool and make Fussa a town that attracts attention, and let's do it.
. It's not that I'm particularly fond of Twist or Harleys. One of the charms of Fussa is the good old days. . I can say for sure that now is the time of revival. Not only in Fussa, but in fashion as a whole, including high brands, for example, there is a revival. . Fussa is the perfect place for a revival. So, I hope Fussa will become a cool town in terms of fashion, and after all, Fussa has to be cool.
