A new initiative for regional revitalization through e-sports
The first "Gaming Camp in Namerikawa" was held in Namerikawa, Toyama Prefecture, and 10 elementary and junior high school students from inside and outside the city participated, learning the basics and techniques of e-sports while also learning the importance of cooperation and improving communication skills. This event was not just about acquiring gaming skills, but also provided an opportunity for local young people to help each other and deepen connections through team matches.
This camp aimed to develop a local e-sports culture and provided new experiences for young people who will lead the future of the region. Another major attraction of the camp was the opportunity to interact with professional players, which served as an opportunity to develop the future of the region through e-sports.
Locally-based e-sports and future possibilities
The camp took place over three days and two nights from August 25th to 27th, and included technical instruction on games and creative activities such as creating original maps to use in the game. In particular, participants learned strategic thinking and cooperative play through team battles, and experienced applying the knowledge they gained in the game to cooperative relationships in the real world. This opened up a new perspective for local young people, who realized the breadth and importance of the skills they could gain through games.
On the final day, the 27th, HowLa (20 years old), a player from the professional e-sports team "Burning Core Toyama" based in Namekawa City, participated, providing a valuable opportunity to receive direct instruction from a professional. HowLa explained strategies and techniques from a professional perspective, and the participants enjoyed the game even more as they put his advice into practice. In this way, interacting with professional players led to self-growth and new goal setting through e-sports, and was an opportunity to encourage new challenges with an eye on the future of the region.

Established by Shigeru Aoi, CEO of Atom Co., Ltd., which has a connection with Toyama, Kitanihon Shimbun, which represents Toyama, and Ayumu Ishikawa, a professional baseball player from Toyama. We are a team that connects something with Toyama and creates new businesses together with Toyama. If you define “regional revitalization” as creating a sustainable society by making use of the characteristics of each region in Japan to put a brake on the overconcentration of Tokyo, the “regional awakening” that Toyamato is aiming for is completely different. have a concept Instead of being led by the local government or government, many people with a love for Toyama will rediscover the charm of Toyama, take pride in it, and spread it around the world on their own initiative. Ultimately, the main character is “people”, and I believe that the diversity of people mixed together will enhance the appeal of Toyama.
