Tottori Networking Event 'Kinan-se Tottorijin' to be Held in Nihonbashi, Tokyo on June 26

Shibire Inc., a company promoting a lifestyle that is not tied to Tokyo under the vision of 'OFF TOKYO,' will hold a networking event titled 'Kinan-se Tottorijin: Tell us about your Tottori!' on Friday, June 26, 2026, in Kodenmacho, Nihonbashi, Tokyo, in collaboration with Tottori City.

The event targets Tottori natives living in the Kanto region and individuals interested in Tottori. It serves as a space for natives to rekindle their connection to their hometown and for those who have yet to visit Tottori to discover its authentic charm through the perspectives of those connected to the city. By creating sentiments such as 'I want to visit Tottori again' or 'I want to stay connected to Tottori,' the initiative aims to promote U-turn migration and expand the relationship population.

■ A Participatory Event
This event is designed not as a seminar, but as a space where participants naturally become speakers.

On the day, participants will create a 'Map of Tottori I Love' by placing sticky notes on a Tottori map, sharing their favorite places, shops, and festivals. The moderator, a newcomer to Tottori, will encourage participants to share their stories. This structure, where an 'outsider' asks simple questions and natives naturally share their experiences, creates a warm and non-intrusive environment.

By the end of the night, organizers hope participants will have made new friends who love Tottori and perhaps even started searching for flights to the city.

■ Moderator (Tottori Newcomer)
Naomi Kitagawa / OFF TOKYO Local Director
Born in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture. In November 2025, she moved to Tottori City, a place with which she had no prior connection, driven by the desire to work closely with a community and broaden her horizons. She discovers the charm of Tottori daily, including the beautiful sea, frequent community events, and the ever-changing sky. As a newcomer, she will act as the listener to draw out the Tottori that natives love.
