Team Work makes the dream work. Thank you to our awesome team of intern + volunteers, and our partners @codechrysalis & #SoseiPartners for making "Deep Dive: Regional Revitalization in #japan🇯🇵" a success! It’s a pretty magical thing to have 40 people, from totally different educational, professional, and personal backgrounds, come together to discuss and take on one specific challenge. In this case, we were fortunate to have @dennischia8787 tell us about the problems that rural Japan is facing (#地方創生), and why this issue is important to us all. There were so many awesome ideas that came from the brainstorm that followed: from setting up e-commerce platforms for local craftspeople, to creating the next Silicon Valley deep in the Japanese countryside. It was a really invigorating evening - so glad to see people connecting over meaningful discussions about important issues facing Japan and the wider world. A big shout out to everyone who made this possible :) #TeamWork #socialinnovationjapan #inaka #socialinnovation Photo Credits: @kaiseiokada

A man paying his respects at the famous #IseShrine in Mie Prefecture - such a powerful and humbling place #japan🇯🇵 #japantravel2018 #IseJingu #伊勢神宮外宮

#SumoSelfie ... Only in #japan🇯🇵 Totally rediscovered my admiration for these #warrior athletes after seeing them practice. #Sumo wrestlers train incredibly hard, lead ultra-disciplined lives; strong as oxes, and yet flexible and supple like gymnasts (their training featured some very graceful somersaults, splits, and stretching). Incredible to watch! Made me feel the need to up my training regime (which at present mainly consists of eating pastries while sitting at my computer)... #Fitnessgoals #sumowrestling #japantravel2018

A rainy day in the beautiful #Kumano Hongu Taisha - a Shinto #shrine located deep in the rugged mountains of #Wakayama, and one of the 3 famous World Heritage shrines in the area. #Shinto #HonguTaisha #KumanoKodo #japantravel2018

One of the many ancient shrines along the #KumanoKodo (#熊野古道) ancient pilgrim’s route, surrounded by trees that are hundreds of years old. #shrine #wakayama #japan🇯🇵 #traveljapan2018 #kumanokodotrail

After a day of walking in the rain, we reached our goal - the beautiful #KumanoNachiTaisha - one of the most stunning #pagodas in #japan🇯🇵 set against the dramatic Nachi waterfalls. Definitely a highlight of walking along the #KumanoKodo trail! #nachiwaterfall #kumanokodotrail #walkjapan #wakayama

Walking the #UNESCO world heritage #KumanoKodo in #Wakayama #japan🇯🇵. People from all over the world come to this quiet corner of Japan to walk the ancient pilgrim’s route :) #pilgrimage #walkjapan #trekjapan #熊野古道

Dream start to 5 days walking Japan’s most famous #pilgrimage route - the #KumanoKodo in #Wakayama Prefecture. For over 2000 years, people have been making this journey, and the route has been registered as a #unesco world heritage site. It’s the tail end of walking season right now (just before rainy season begins) so not too many people either! #KumanoKodoTrail #熊野古道 #hikingjapan #trekjapan

On Thursday, 120 people gathered in #Tokyo to cut the small talk and discuss the big things: life, death, and the concept of #Ikigai at #SocialInnovationJapan. Thank you to our speaker, #EijiHanShimizu (producer of the award-winning #HappyDocumentary), for sharing his fascinating story and facilitating a rare opportunity for us to reflect on what really matters. Thank you to everyone who was a part of this deep dive - especially our team of awesome #volunteers - for making it an unforgettable experience! #Mindfulness #Meditation #RealTalk #DeepDive
