Highlights
行程亮点
Japan's First Zero Waste Village
日本首个零废弃村庄
Nestled in the mountains of Shikoku, Kamikatsu stands as Japan's first zero‑waste village. For over twenty years, the residents of this least populated municipality on the island of Shikoku have meticulously separated their trash into 45 different recycling categories — a calm yet revolutionary practice that has turned the town into a global emblem of sustainability and a model of community‑driven environmental action. In Kamikatsu, zero waste goes far beyond sorting materials; it's a philosophy that honours resources, strengthens social bonds, and shapes everyday life.
坐落在四国群山之中的上胜町，是日本首个零废弃村庄。二十多年来，这个位于四国岛、人口最少的自治体，居民们始终如一地将垃圾细致分类为45种可回收类别 — 这种安静却具有革命性的做法，使小镇成为全球可持续发展的象征，以及社区推动环境行动的典范。在上胜町，“零废弃”远不止于分类，它是一种尊重资源、强化社区纽带、并塑造日常生活的生活哲学。
A model for regional revitalization
地方创生的典范
Kamiyama is a rural town in Tokushima that has become a standout example of regional revitalization by embracing creativity and openness rather than trying to restore old industries. The town attracted artists, entrepreneurs, students, and remote workers through programs like artist residencies, high‑speed internet infrastructure, opening new college, and the renovation of vacant houses into studios, offices, and cafés. Local residents and NPOs led many of the initiatives, ensuring development stayed community‑driven. As a result, Kamiyama transformed into a small but vibrant hub of culture, innovation, education, and sustainable rural living.
神山町位于德岛，是一个通过拥抱创造力与开放性而非复兴旧产业，成功实现区域振兴的典型乡镇。通过艺术家驻留项目、高速网络基础设施、设立新学院，以及将空置房屋改造为工作室、办公室和咖啡馆等举措，神山吸引了艺术家、创业者、学生与远程工作者的到来。当地居民与非营利组织在众多项目中发挥主导作用，使发展始终保持以社区为核心。由此，神山逐渐转变为一个在文化、创新、教育与可持续乡村生活方面都充满活力的小型聚落。
World's First Train-Bus Hybrid
世界首个火车-巴士结合体
Asa Coast Railway's Dual Mode Vehicle is a pioneering mobility solution blending bus and train capabilities into a single vehicle. They were developed to revitalize rural transportation in Tokushima and Kochi, offering a flexible, low‑cost mobility solution that preserves rail connectivity while expanding reach into communities beyond the tracks. It preserves essential transport links in rural Japan while offering a memorable travel experience along the Pacific coast. Its success has sparked national interest in whether DMVs could support other regional railways facing similar challenges.
阿佐海岸铁道的双模式车辆（DMV）是一项开创性的交通创新，将巴士与列车的功能融合于同一台车上。这项技术的诞生旨在振兴德岛与高知地区的乡村交通，提供一种灵活且低成本的运输方式，不仅维持既有铁路的连结，也能将服务延伸至铁道无法覆盖的社区。DMV 在保留日本乡村重要交通命脉的同时，也为旅客带来沿著太平洋海岸的难忘旅程。其成功引发全国关注，许多地方铁路也开始思考，这种模式是否能成为解决地方交通困境的新方向。
More than a station
不仅仅是车站
The Wakayamashi Station redevelopment project is a key transit-oriented development (TOD) led by Nankai Electric Railway and the city. Opened in June 2020, the complex integrates the regional transport hub with a public civic library, commercial food halls, supermarkets, healthcare clinics, offices, and a hotel to revitalize the downtown core.
和歌山市站的公共交通导向型开发（Transit-Oriented Development, 简称 TOD）是一个由南海电气铁道与和歌山市政府共同推进的城市更新项目。该项目于2020年6月全面开业，旨在通过将交通枢纽与市民生活、商业、文化相结合，从而复兴整个老城区中心。
Mokuiku at forestry town
林业小镇的木育
A unique, multi-generational hands-on wooden toy museum located in Naka Town, Tokushima Prefecture. Opened in March 2023, it focuses on mokuiku (wood education) by using locally sourced cedar and cypress from Naka Town—a region where 95% of the land is covered by forest.
这是一座集自然、教育与游戏于一体的互动式木制玩具美术馆。于2023年3月开馆，坐落于森林覆盖率高达95%的德岛县那贺町。全馆均使用当地珍贵的杉木与桧木打造，倡导“木育”（木材教育）理念。
400 Years of Cultural Heritage

Modules
单元
01
Zero Waste Policy
零废弃政策
Kamikatsu Town / 上胜町
Policy-level zero waste shifts the focus toward systemic redesign and eliminating waste through lifecycle regulations and producer responsibility. Japan exemplifies this approach via the 2000 Basic Act on Establishing a Sound Material-Cycle Society, which enforces a strict hierarchy prioritizing reduction, reuse, and recycling through decentralized municipal execution and civic participation.
政策层面的零废物将重点转向系统性重新设计，通过全生命周期监管和生产者责任制来消除废物。日本于2000年颁布了《建立循环型社会基本法》，通过地方分权式的市政执行和公众的积极参与，确立了以减量（Reduce）、再利用（Reuse）和再循环（Recycle）为核心的严格法定先后顺序。
02
Regional Revitalization
乡村振兴
Kamiyama Town / 神山町
Regional revitalization aims to address population decline, economic stagnation, and urban overconcentration. In Japan, for example, rural areas face a sharp decrease in young populations, with projections indicating that by 2040, many municipalities could lose over 50% of women in their 20s and 30s if trends continue, threatening the survival of these communities. Revitalization policies seek to redistribute population, create local employment, and maintain vibrant regional economies.
地方创生（区域振兴/乡村振兴）旨在解决人口减少、经济停滞以及城市过度集中的问题。以日本为例，农村地区面临着年轻人口急剧减少的困境。据预测，如果这一趋势持续下去，到2040年，许多地方自治体可能会流失50%以上20至30多岁的女性人口，这直接威胁到了这些社区的生存。因此，地方创生政策旨在重新分配人口、创造当地就业机会并维持充满活力的区域经济。
03
Natural Heritage Conservation
自然遗产保护
Naka Town Toy Museum /
那贺町大山的玩具美术馆
Kamikatsu Town / 上胜町
Kamiyama Town / 神山町
The conservation of natural heritage refers to the protection, care, management and maintenance of ecosystems, habitats, wildlife species and populations, within or outside of their natural environments, in order to safeguard the natural conditions for their long-term permanence.
自然遗产保护是指对自然环境内部或外部的生态系统、栖息地、野生动植物物种及种群进行保护、照料、管理和维护，以确保其长期生存的自然条件。
04
Cultural Heritage Conservation
文化遗产保护
Awa Odori Kaikan Museum / 阿波舞会馆
The conservation of cultural heritage refers to the measures taken to extend the life of cultural heritage while strengthening transmission of its significant heritage messages and values. In the domain of cultural property, the aim of conservation is to maintain the physical and cultural characteristics of the object to ensure that its value is not diminished and that it will outlive our limited time span.
文化遗产保护指的是为延长文化遗产的寿命，同时加强其重要遗产信息与价值的传承而采取的措施。在文化财产领域，保护的目的在于维护物体的物理与文化特征，以确保其价值不被削弱，并使其生命力能够超越我们有限的生命周期。
05
Art, Architecture and Design
艺术、建筑与设计
Naka Town Toy Museum /
那贺町大山的玩具美术馆
Kamikatsu WHY Zero Waste Center /
上胜町WHY零废弃中心
Naka Town Toy Museum and Kamikatsu WHY Zero Waste Center serve as powerful real-world case studies demonstrating how regional art, architecture, and design can drive sustainability and community revitalization. Together, these locations offer an immersive framework to analyze how intentional spatial design, material reuse, and human-centric systems address modern ecological and societal challenges.
那贺町大山的玩具美术馆与上胜町WHY零废弃中心是展示区域艺术、建筑与设计如何推动可持续发展和社区振兴的强有力实例。通过这两个案例，我们可以探讨如何通过巧思的空间设计、材料再利用以及以人为本的系统，来应对当代的生态与社会挑战。
06
Transit Oriented Development
公共交通导向性开发
Nankai Railway Wakayamashi Station /
南海电车和歌山市车站
Wakayama Civic Library / 和歌山市民图书馆
Transit Oriented Development, or TOD, is an approach to urban development designed to bring people, services, and activities together with quality public transport supported by walking and cycling conditions to facilitate shorter trips, better lifestyles, and more efficient use of city resources.
公共交通导向开发，是规划一个居民区或者商业区时，使公共交通的使用最大化的一种非汽车化的规划设计方式。其中的公共交通主要是指火车站、机场、地铁、轻轨等轨道交通及巴士干线，然后以该站点为中心，以约400-800米为半径进行高密度开发，形成同时满足居住、工作、购物、娱乐、出行、休憩等需求的多功能社区，实现生产、生活、生态高度和谐统一。
07
Rural Public Transportation System
乡村公共交通系统
Asa Coast Railway Dual Mode Vehicle /
阿佐海岸铁道双模式车辆
A rural public transportation system provides mobility services in areas with low population densities and populations typically under 50,000. These networks act as lifelines for populations that cannot drive, helping seniors, youths, and low-income residents reach healthcare, jobs, and education. Rural public transportation in Japan faces severe challenges due to depopulation and an aging society. Traditional fixed-route buses and local train lines run infrequently, and struggle with mounting deficits. Municipalities are increasingly replacing conventional transit with on-demand shared taxis, community-operated micro-buses, and localized public ride-sharing frameworks.
乡村公共交通系统主要为人口密度低、人口通常在5万人以下的地区提供出行服务。这些交通网络是无法驾驶人群的“生命线”，致力于帮助老年人、青少年和低收入居民前往医疗机构、工作岗位并接受教育。由于人口骤减和老龄化社会的双重影响，日本的乡村公共交通正面临着极其严峻的挑战。传统的固定路线公交车和地方铁路不仅班次稀少，还深陷于日益扩大的财政赤字中。为了应对这一困境，各地方自治体正加速推进转型，逐步引入预约型需求响应式共享出租车、社区自营微型巴士以及本地化的公共共享出行框架，以此取代传统的常规大交通系统。
08
Education
教育
Kamiyama Marugoto College of Design, Technology and Entrepreneurship /
神山设计、科技、与创业学院
Japan's education system is famous worldwide for its discipline, high academic standards, and structured pathways. However, its traditional emphasis on rote memorization and high-stakes university entrance exams is facing intense scrutiny as the country shifts toward a digital, startup-driven global economy. Opened in April 2023, Kamiyama Marugoto College is Japan's first newly established private KOSEN in over 20 years. It weaponized the 5-year KOSEN framework to create a counter-culture to traditional Japanese education.
日本的教育体系以纪律严明、学术标准高以及升学路径规范而闻名于世。然而，随着日本向数字化、由初创企业驱动的全球经济转型，其传统教育中侧重死记硬背和“一考定终身”式大学入学考试的做法，正面临着严厉的审视。神山设计、科技、与创业学院于2023年4月开学，是日本二十多年来首所新建的私立高等专门学校（KOSEN）。该校充分利用为期五年的高等专门学校教育模式，打造出一种与日本传统教育截然不同的新式教育文化。
