co-creation experience” that spans local, international, and business fields, centered around music, art, food, and wellness.

Additionally, the festival has been selected for the Japan Tourism Agency’s “Regional Tourism Promotion Project,” and will also be involved in developing winter content for the venue, Nokonoshima Camp Village. For more information, please visit the official website. Background: Why Nokonoshima, Fukuoka Now? • Fukuoka City has long been an
international hub of culture and trade, known as the “Gateway to Asia.” • Nokonoshima is a “junction between city and nature” that combines nature, lifestyle and culture, and urban proximity. • Following the introduction of the Startup Visa and Digital Nomad Visa, efforts are underway to attract talent from both Japan and overseas and to develop the city into a hub for co-creating new industries. Nomad Resort integrates these trends into the cultural vessel known as a “festival,” disseminating regional and cultural capital both domestically and internationally. Festival Features and Content

Representative Director: Masanori Hashimoto I feel that a city like Fukuoka, where “local richness” and “international exchange” naturally blend together, can serve as a testing ground where we can utilize the benefits of globalization while easing its challenges. At Synapse Festival, I hope to bring together remote workers from overseas and people from all over Japan to enjoy a “sensory
co-creation experience.” We hope that these encounters and experiences will help build the foundations that support startups and remote work, and serve as an opportunity to work together to create a decentralized economy and a sustainable, environmentally friendly model city.
