Aiming for Minamisoma City, a place brimming with parents' and children's "I want to try this!"

Our organization endorses April Dream, an initiative to spread dreams on April 1st. This press release is the dream of "Company/Organization Name".

■ Introduction: This is a "dream" that creates the future for parents and children

This is our dream, the dream of establishing the child-rearing support group AKAHAI in Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture.

A town where children's "I want to try this!" expands, and where moms and dads feel "I'm glad I could raise my child here."

A future where Minamisoma City becomes "the center of Japan where child-rearing is full of excitement."

And at the very center of that circle of excitement is the child-rearing support group "AKAHAI".

■ A New Form of Child-Rearing Spreading in Minamisoma City

Here, life revolves around the child.

・Daily life growing with nature
・A sense of security watched over by the entire community
・An atmosphere where parents and children can be themselves

👉 Minamisoma is now evolving as a "town where child-rearing becomes fun."

■ What is AKAHAI: A place born from kindness

AKAHAI means "consideration" and "kindness" in Hawaiian.

It is a place where parents and children can relax a little.

・Co-working with supervision
・Secure kids' space
・Child-rearing consultation/events
・On-demand play area creation

・Support for side jobs and work-from-home skills development that balances child-rearing.

👉 We create "moments of joy" in everyday life.

■ New Challenge ①: AKAHAI × (KAKERU) Project

"Minamisoma's 'good things' become 'treasures' for child-rearing."'

AKAHAI is launching a new project that combines the local community and child-rearing.

* If you would like to support the KAKERU Project, please feel free to contact us.

■ New Challenge ②: Child-Rearing × Skills × Side Jobs

The child-rearing support group AKAHAI also undertakes initiatives to connect "spare time" to the future, even while raising children.

Initiative Details

・Provision of remote work opportunities
・Skill-up courses (SNS, writing, etc.)
・Corporate collaboration projects
・Hands-on work experience

We collaborate with companies that offer remote work contracts, enabling "work styles that smoothly balance family and career."

Future We Aim For

From "Challenges are possible even while raising children" to "Possibilities expand precisely because we are raising children."

■ New Challenge ③: A Place for "Exchange and Learning" to Connect with People

The child-rearing support group AKAHAI also creates a "place to share the joy of child-rearing."

Oshaberi Hiroba (Child-Rearing Exchange Meeting)

A place to chat casually over tea.

・Theme-based talks
・Empathy-based interaction
・Children welcome / Solo participants also highly welcome

👉 "A place where you can come as you are."
👉 A place where new connections naturally form.

Minamisoma City Children's Merchant Market

A real-experience project where children become "merchants."

・Product planning
・Procurement and pricing
・Sales and profit calculation

👉 While learning business know-how from actual shopkeepers in the shopping district,

Children think, try, earn income, and achieve success.

This is not just an event; it is "regional education that nurtures future earning power."

— Choosing to move here becomes even more enjoyable —

Life in Minamisoma City
simultaneously expands "children's potential" and "parents' future."

・Children can have diverse experiences.
・Parents can choose their work and life styles.
・You can live while connecting with the community.

And at its center is AKAHAI.
