As part of the project we visited the prefecture and interviewed foreign people already working in the area. Using these stories we created a video and pamphlet centered on their perspectives, highlighting what they found appealing and challenging about working in Japan. Our goal was to create practical and aspirational content that represented Yamanashi Prefecture's progressive stance.
