Shimane Prefecture is the second smallest prefecture in Japan in terms of population and city. You may think that the regional economy is losing its vitality due to the decline of the countryside caused by the recent concentration of Tokyo. However, in Shimane Prefecture, which is blessed with rich nature and culture, there are many companies that protect the local community by valuing local ties, and companies that engage in businesses that other companies do not have with flexible ideas. In this project, by introducing companies that have the energy to dispel the general image of "rural = handicap", we hope to encourage young people who continue to flow to urban areas to make U-turns, and lead to revitalization of the economic activity of Shimane Prefecture. In the section above, we will introduce a total of 15 companies, including companies that push forward with community-based services, companies that support local infrastructure, and companies that attract attention for their unique businesses. In addition, many columns that give good hints on the future of rural areas that are shrinking are published.
