As a micro tourism in line with New Normal, creative company NAKED plans and sells “NAKED Night walk” for local governments and corporations.
“NAKED Night Walk” is a new project of NAKED, which is a micro-tourism measure that allows customers to travel around the city safely and securely even in the event of COVID-19 pandemic, and is also an art experience for customers.
So far, it has been held in 2021 at hot spring areas such as Ikaho Onsen and Katayamazuma Onsen.
In addition, in the new project “NAKED Yormoude”, which updates the experience of worshiping at shrines and temples, we have created experiences that local people can enjoy again, such as summer festivals and distributed worship, and we have been implementing projects that will lead to regional revitalization even in COVID-19 pandemic.
Infectious disease prevention art “NAKED Tsukubai ™ ️”
“NAKED Tsukubai ™ ️” is an art form of alcohol disinfection of fingers, which started in 2020.
It is very popular to express the characteristics of each area with projection mapping and spread the projection mapping on the palm with alcohol disinfectant.
The Instagram reel video that summarizes the experiences of “NAKED Tsukubai ™ ️” in various places is attracting attention as it has been viewed more than 10,000 times.
Infectious disease prevention art “NAKED distance lantern ®︎”
“NAKED Distance Lantern ®” that can naturally maintain social distance with other groups.
It is also possible to change the pattern of the light leaking from the lanterns in connection with each place and project.
By having the customer bring the lantern, each person can keep the ring of light leaking from the lantern, and the social distance can be maintained.
The cute light that leaks from the lanterns and the lanterns themselves are colorfully developed, making it an item that allows you to take cute pictures even at night.
NAKED Flower Omikuji®︎
It became a hot topic on SNS as an Omikuji that can also be used as “cherry blossom viewing”. You can enjoy a flower object made of Japanese paper and a fortune slip together, which is a popular product at naked events.
Furthermore, in addition to these three experiences, it is possible to make additional arrangements such as space production and digital art production of famous places in each area.
While providing an art experience where you can feel the history and culture of the area, you can take preventive measures against infectious diseases and attract customers safely and securely even if you are suffering from COVID-19 pandemic.
As a night walk where you can enjoy the city even after an event such as a summer festival or a meal at an inn, this project will promote the night economy.
