What is TRALIVE?
What if,
people living all over the world could give this town a helping hand?
"Kamikawa, the smallest town in Hyogo Prefecture," is one of the regions most affected by shrinking population in Japan. This town has been officially categorized as a disappearing community.
Therefore, we made it possible for people from around the world to assist in solving the lack of local supporters and needs of the community "while having fun" by interacting with locals either from the comfort of your own home or on the side of your trip to Japan.
This is TRALIVE, a program based on the concept of "traveling as if you live here".
Discover hidden gems of Japan through TRALIVE activities, which is something you can't experience on ordinary trips. Your interest and involvement will bring this disappearing town back to life!

What our guests have to say
“I would love to do another travel like this, where you go to a tradicional Japanese house and cook and sleep as in a Japanese camp. I think that do the travel with a little group it's a really good idea, as you can do activities easily and get along with them even if you don't know them from before. I also liked all the views which are so different from the ones I can see in my country. I think that it is a really important part, as we want to see things that surprise us, that are not "normal" for us. And I think that's it's so important to interact with locals in order to have the real Japanese experience of the place. "
