Toshima Village is sometimes referred to as “Japan’s last unexplored region” due to its difficulty of access and its untouched nature, but the island is equipped with an optical fiber network that provides stable and high-speed communications just like on the mainland. The environment is now available. Therefore, the village has maintained and renovated the accommodation facilities that the village had developed to provide a “migration experience” before making a full-scale migration to a remote island. We are accepting users for applications. Despite being in an isolated environment on a remote island surrounded by untouched nature, with the only main means of transportation being ferries that run twice a week, and no convenience stores, supermarkets, cafes, or restaurants, we have a high-speed fiber-optic internet connection. You can concentrate on your work without being bothered by surrounding noises or temptations. Tourism information on Akusekijima (Toshima Village Office homepage) Image

We have installed Wi-Fi that can be used freely within the facility, as well as working desks and gaming chairs that allow for comfortable remote work. Because employees have to cook their own meals and do their own cleaning and laundry, it is also recommended for companies that want to revive the teamwork that has been lost due to training camps for new hires, development camps, or telework during the coronavirus pandemic. I recommend it. In addition to individual use, it can now be used for group work, corporate training camps, retreats, etc. To date, 29 groups have used the facility for 187 nights. We planned a monitor tour because we wanted many teleworkers to know about it. This facility does not normally provide meals, but for this monitor tour, lunch and dinner will be provided at a guesthouse on the island. In addition, there will be one day during the trip where you will be able to cook all three meals yourself so that you can enjoy a barbecue using the fish you caught and the ingredients you brought with you.
