Regional revitalization videos are popping up all over Japan. With as many as 870 videos produced annually, it’s easy to get lost in all the noise, and it’s not very cost effective. Even if a video does cause a buzz, it’s usually only temporary. Regional promotion that has continuity and vitalizes the region at a fundamental level. It’s not just a PR video. It’s a movement created with the citizens.
When the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension goes into service in 2023, we want Kaga-onsen Station to be one of the stops. We will set up the Shinkansen Initiative Office at Kaga City Hall, and dramatize its activities as part of the PR efforts.
Regional promotion that has continuity and vitalizes the region at a fundamental level. It’s not just a PR video. It’s a movement created with the citizens. All other actors are citizens of Kaga City. We executed a novel strategy:“Involve the Neighboring City.”

The project was featured in numerous media reports and created a buzz on social media. It was ranked No. 1 at the Regional PR Video Grand Prix. Negotiations with the national government and the railway company to make the final decision on the Shinkansen stop moved in our favor.
