Kobe Shimbun and Note, a general incorporated association working to utilize old houses (Tanba Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture), have jointly established a town development company, PAGE Co., Ltd., in December 2018. The two companies will work to utilize old houses and cultural properties in a comprehensive manner and to create a lively community by utilizing the strengths of both companies. ■NIPPONIA Harima Fukusaki Library Maison The Miki Family Residence, a Hyogo Prefecture designated important tangible cultural property, is a prefectural designated cultural property with all nine existing buildings, and its grand structure conveys the life of a village headman to the present day. It has been reborn as a cultural property hotel, NIPPONIA Harima Fukusaki Library, which cherishes Yanagita's worldview, based on the historical fact that Kunio Yanagita, a native of Fukusaki Town and known as the father of folklore, was entrusted to the residence as a child and was absorbed in reading 4,000 books. PAGE Co., Ltd. will renovate the building, and REC Co., Ltd. will be in charge of hotel operations. ■Fukusaki Town Tourism Exchange Center The Fukusaki Town Ekimae Tourism Exchange Center and Fukusaki Town Tsujikawa Tourism Exchange Center opened on October 6, 2019. PAGE Co., Ltd. was commissioned by Fukusaki Town to create the concept and interior design of the facilities, and has been managing both facilities as the designated manager since their opening. In order to create a lively town, we help connect local people with visitors to Fukusaki Town through business development and facility management that utilizes both facilities. ■Town development projects We are developing various projects to create a lively town. "Chefs in Residence" aims to discover and develop leaders who will create a new food culture by highlighting the unique climate, culture, and regional food that has been passed down through history. "Local Challenge Project" develops seminars and challenge shops for people who want to interact with diverse human resources, such as producers who want to try town development, store openings and startups, and direct sales. We plan and manage projects that utilize local resources to create attractive areas. ■Tourism support projects We use subsidies from the Japan Tourism Agency and the Agency for Cultural Affairs to create tourism content and conduct monitor tours, develop souvenir products using local specialties, and create tourist information products for inbound tourists.

This is also the place where Yanagida Kunio, a folklorist from Fukusaki-cho, spent his childhood reading a large number of books and wrote, "The foundation of my knowledge of trivia was formed in the past year or so" (Hometown 70 Years). In this AR, you can enjoy watching the yokai that appear in Yanagida Kunio's books and are a popular tourist attraction in Fukusaki-cho moving around on the theme of "how this room was used at the time". For example, in the "annex" where Yanagida Kunio is said to have been absorbed in reading his books stored on the second floor, a reading yokai appears. In addition to the "annex", the "Miki family residence" has a total of five rooms named "sodeya", "uchizu", "kakuzo", and "rice storehouse", and in the "old Tsujikawa post office" area there are two rooms named "〒201" and "〒202". In the AR, the yokai appear when you read a special code card placed in the room you are staying in with your smartphone. You can take photos with them and share them on social media. There are three types of yokai in addition to the Tengu, and they are scheduled to change every four months. You can look forward to finding out what other yokai will appear besides the Tengu during your stay.
