i-mobile Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tetsuya Noguchi; Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market), which operates the hometown tax donation site "Furunavi" (https://furunavi.jp/), has begun accepting donations for a crowdfunding project by Mine City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.

[Project Name] Passing on Rich Nature to the Next Generation! The Challenge of Mine Akiyoshidai UNESCO Global Geopark

https://fcf.furunavi.jp/Project/Detail?projectid=1055

<<About the Support>>

Mine City is home to Akiyoshidai, one of Japan's largest karst plateaus, and Akiyoshido, a cave designated as a Special Natural Monument. The entire city is certified as a UNESCO Global Geopark. However, tourism is concentrated in a few popular spots, and many visitors leave after a short stay. While the city possesses numerous valuable regional resources that convey Earth's history and local life, their appeal is not fully utilized.

This project aims to leverage the regional resources throughout the city to widely promote the value and appeal of the Geopark. By encouraging visitors to explore various parts of the city, we aim to extend their stay and revitalize the local economy. We will promote the acceptance of educational trips, foster guide talent, and pass on the value of regional resources to the next generation to promote sustainable regional development.

We kindly request your support to connect the globally recognized charm of Mine City to the future.

<<Use of Donations>>

Donations received through this project will be used for training certified geopark guides, developing and promoting educational tour programs, and disseminating information.
