## Launch of a New Service Specializing in the Hida Region
Shagai Shain Keikaku Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture; Representative Director: Kumiko Nakahata) officially launched 'Work in HIDA' (Official Website: https://workhida.com/) in May 2026, a recruitment support service specializing in the Hida region of Gifu Prefecture (Takayama City, Hida City, Gero City, and Shirakawa Village). By disseminating not only recruitment information for local companies but also 'voices of workers,' 'life in Hida,' and 'local culture,' the service aims to create new encounters between UIJ-turn talent and local businesses.
## Background of the Service
While the Hida region has been supported by diverse industries centering on rich nature, unique culture, manufacturing, and tourism, it has recently faced serious labor shortages across various sectors including tourism, manufacturing, welfare, and agriculture due to population decline and aging.
Meanwhile, in urban areas, interest in UIJ-turn moves is steadily increasing, especially among people in their 20s and 30s who want to live in rural areas, work near nature, or engage deeply with a community.
However, the reality is that the appeal of local companies, work environments, and the actual conditions of living are not sufficiently communicated, and contact points between talent and local companies or regions remain limited.
'Work in HIDA' aims to bridge this gap by serving as a platform that conveys the 'experience of working and living in the Hida region,' going beyond a mere job board.
## Key Features of 'Work in HIDA'
1. Recruitment and Company Information Specializing in the Hida Region
We introduce job information closely tied to the region, focusing on Takayama, Hida, Gero, and Shirakawa. We deliver not just job conditions, but also the company vision, insights from on-site employees, workplace atmosphere, and regional information, encompassing corporate culture and regional characteristics.
2. Supporting 'Living' as Well as 'Working'
'Work in HIDA' does not stop at job introductions. We also provide information on housing, child-rearing, local communities, seasonal life, and relocation support systems, accompanying users throughout their new life in the Hida region.
3. Promoting Matching with UIJ-turn Talent
We strengthen information dissemination targeting diverse groups such as urban youth, parenting generations, potential U-turners from the Hida region, and I-turners with a strong inclination toward local living. By combining multiple touchpoints like social media, article media, and experiential opportunities, we create new encounters with local companies.
4. Supporting Recruitment Branding for Local Companies
We convey the 'company passion,' 'work environment,' and 'local engagement' that job conditions alone cannot express, through interviews, articles, and videos. We provide consistent support for local companies to improve awareness and recruitment capabilities, from content creation to matching.
## Future Prospects
Moving forward, we will expand the number of companies listed on our service site and increase content featuring corporate interviews, testimonials from relocated individuals, and information about life in Hida. In addition, we will collaborate with real-life experiential opportunities such as local tours and trial residence programs to establish a mechanism that can accompany individuals consistently from 'interest' to 'consultation,' 'decision,' and 'settlement' after relocation.
Furthermore, through cooperation with administrative organizations, educational institutions, and businesses both inside and outside the region, we aim to build a sustainable community that goes beyond just relocation and hiring.
## Representative Comment
Kumiko Nakahata, Representative of 'Work in HIDA'
'The Hida region is home to many attractive companies that walk with the community, alongside world-class culture and industries. However, I have felt that these values and attractions do not reach sufficiently beyond the region. Through 'Work in HIDA,' I hope to connect companies challenging themselves within the region with people seeking new ways of working and living, creating encounters that will lead to the future of Hida.'
