Vibe
Long-stay gathering rather than a conference. Weekdays are for working, weekends for island trips and outdoor activities around the Setouchi region. Programming runs in both Japanese and English, and it is organised by a six-person team of Japanese nomads led by Shoko Hirose, who founded the Digital Nomads Hiroshima community and ran the first edition in 2025.

Hiroshima City for the first two weeks — on the Tokaido-Sanyo shinkansen line between Shin-Osaka and Hakata, with an airport taking direct flights from Seoul, Cheongju, Taipei, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Hanoi. The second leg is Matsuyama on Shikoku, a ferry ride across the Seto Inland Sea, known for Dogo Onsen, its castle and its literary history.

About
Three weeks across two Setouchi cities. October 11–25 is Hiroshima: workshops, skill-sharing in Japanese and English, community dinners and cultural experiences with local residents. On October 25 the group takes the ferry across the Seto Inland Sea for a week in Matsuyama, a hot-spring and castle town on Shikoku. Accommodation not included — book separately, for both legs if you do the full run. Meals, transport, coworking and the ferry fare are on you too. Passes are sold per city, so one leg on its own works. The theme is "Yohaku" (余白), Japanese for blank space or margin.
