Field Note, a local media outlet that introduces restaurants, apparel shops and other establishments in the Kushiro area (http://fieldnotekushiro.com/ ), launched a new initiative this November called the FIELD NOTE Community, which aims to connect shops and users.

"FIELD NOTE Community" is a community that anyone who cares about the local area, including people who live in the area, people who live far away, and people who run local businesses, can join on a subscription basis (for a flat rate fee). By joining the community, both people living in the area and those living far away can receive preferential services at participating stores, access exclusive original content, and enjoy free access to the co-working space "HATOBA nishikimachi" in Nishikicho, Kushiro City. Meanwhile, people who run local stores can create an opportunity for others to know about their existence through the community. Field Notes was launched as a free paper in 2016, introducing restaurants, apparel shops, etc. in the Kushiro area. It has covered over 400 local stores to date, and continues to explore and promote the charms of the Kushiro area. As the impact of the spread of COVID-19 continues, it is hoped that by connecting the shops that are the backbone of the town's culture with its users and building closer, face-to-face relationships, it will create new momentum for urban development.
