Make "time to relax" more accessible at Konpira. Konpira Onsen Yumoto Yachiyo begins selling day-use onsen passports on TOKKEN

Aruyawmu Inc. (Headquarters: Sapporo, Hokkaido; Representative Director: Hiroaki Hatanaka, hereinafter "Aruyawmu") announced that on Wednesday, July 1, its high-value NFT sales platform "TOKKEN" began selling two types of day-use onsen passports offered by Konpira Onsen Yumoto Yachiyo in Kotohira Town, Kagawa Prefecture.

The passports now on sale are the "Yu-Shukan Passport," a weekday-friendly option for Kagawa residents, and the "Nenkan Seiran Passport," for non-Kagawa residents, usable each time they visit for worship or travel. The aim is to offer local residents a sustainable onsen habit and visitors from outside the prefecture an experience of "time to relax" each time they visit Konpira for worship or travel in Kotohira.

Konpira Onsen Yumoto Yachiyo is a long-established onsen inn in the temple town of Kotohira. This initiative re-packages the inn's existing attractions – its onsen, open-air bath, and sauna – as a means of relaxation after worship, refreshment in daily life, and an incentive for repeat visits, thereby broadening the ways to enjoy visiting the region.

About TOKKEN

TOKKEN is a platform by Aruyawmu Inc. that utilizes NFTs to sell regional resources such as culture, nature, facilities, and communities as "special rights and experiences." In July of this year, Aruyawmu launched initiatives to visualize and sell region-specific values through NFTs in Funabashi Town, Toyama Prefecture; Kotohira Town, Kagawa Prefecture; and Mukawa Town, Hokkaido. The first phase included products such as a "multi-year delivery of new rice" and rights to "experience the stage machinery" at the Important Cultural Property, the Old Konpira Grand Theater, and the right to "make a presentation to the mayor." By leveraging NFTs to guarantee the authenticity and ownership history of rights, and by designing them to encourage repeat purchases and visits, TOKKEN aims to foster relationships with people who have connections to the region, circulate revenue back into public services and community revitalization, and thereby achieve sustainable regional revitalization and diversification of local revenue streams.
