“JAL Innovation Fund funds people living in the urban area to connect with farmers and fishermen. We will love to cooperate with JAL to promote in-bound tourism and educational travelling events mainly for middle and high school students. By mixing urban and rural communities, we hope to hand down the unique nature, history, and culture of the area to our future children blooming in a diverse community with cultural uniqueness and financial independency. To make our vision into reality, we hope to have a long-term partnership with JAL.”

“Ame Kaze Taiyo is a company with a mission to "blend urban and rural areas" and aims to further revitalize Japan by engaging urban residents in various charms of rural areas, not limited to food (i.e., creating a sense of connection with rural communities). In addition to collaboration with the direct-to-consumer agricultural e-commerce platform, Pokemaru, we also aspire to invigorate Japan through strengthened partnerships with existing education based initiatives.”
