Why not find a place that suits you even more in the familiar Hokkaido?

In fact, there are more people moving from within Hokkaido to within Hokkaido than you might imagine.

Hokkaido has 179 cities, towns, and villages, and when you move from one city to another, the climate and atmosphere change completely, making it feel like you've stepped into a different country.

So this time, we're bringing together 14 towns in Hokkaido! Why not chat with locals and find a place that suits you best?

★Content introduction for the day★

[Immigration Consultation Booth] 11:00-16:00 @ Meeting Room 206
We will have booths where you can talk with representatives from all the participating municipalities and organizations. You can discuss things like what life is like in the town you're interested in, job and housing information, and the Regional Revitalization Volunteer program, and expand your imagination about what it will be like after you move here!
Last year, many couples made the decision to move here through this event. The last entrance is at 3:30pm.

[Migration Preparation Workshop] 10:30-11:00 @ Meeting Room 205
As relocation coordinators, we have dealt with many inquiries over the years, and we have compiled the key points that we feel will help you avoid failure. This is the "Relocation Guide." In this workshop, we will use this guide to help you organize your thoughts as you consider relocating.
It was during these 30 minutes that the idea of emigration, which I had only been vaguely thinking about, began to take shape as "what emigration means to me."
*Due to limited seating (20 seats), advance registration is required. Don't forget to apply using the form!

[Regional Revitalization Cooperation Volunteer Introduction Seminar] 11:30-12:00 @ Meeting Room 205
For those who are interested in the Regional Revitalization Volunteer Program but don't really understand it, we will explain the basics of the program in an easy-to-understand manner. We will explain how the program works, what activities are carried out, and who is suitable and unsuited for the program. We will give you a realistic view of what it's like to be a volunteer, as we can only speak from a position of familiarity with the field. In the second half, we will also introduce volunteer job information for participating municipalities. This is the perfect opportunity to change your interest into a desire to try it.

[Forest Birch Charm Workshop (for children)] 13:30-15:30 @ Meeting Room 206
By drawing pictures and sticking stickers on pieces of Hokkaido birch wood, you can create a cute, one-of-a-kind original charm that can be hung on a bag or used as a pendant. The great thing about this workshop is that while your child is having fun working with their hands, parents can calmly listen to stories about relocation. Why not try experiencing a little bit of life close to nature? This is a simple, fun, free workshop that even young children can participate in. *Registration is available at any time during the workshop, and participants are free to enter and leave.
You can also enjoy coloring pages of "Yuru-chara" characters from participating cities and towns in the same corner from 11:00.

★Comments from participants at last year's event★
[Osaka → Sapporo living couple in their 40s]
Before participating in the event, when I was looking for a place to move to, I only prioritized scenery and convenience. However, at the fair, I was able to learn specific, practical information about jobs, housing, living expenses, and other things in a town that hadn't been on my radar, and I was able to imagine what life there would be like more realistically. My anxiety turned into a sense of relief, and it was a big motivation for me to take the first step.
