Collaboration with a designer with ties to Kyotango City
In order to create a product that evokes the charms of Kyotango City, the planning, development and production of the product was entrusted to the design unit "COCHAE" (Head office: Okayama City / CEO: Yosuke Jikuhara), which works on the theme of "design for play", and the package design was handled by Miki Takeda, a designer living in Mineyama Town, Kyotango City. The staff of the tourism corporation selected 10 places (points) such as "Kyogamisaki Lighthouse" and "YURARI", a popular spot on Yuhigaura Beach, and wrote captions (explanation text) for each. The product is made into a postcard-sized tea bag product (2g x 2 pieces), which can be mailed with an 85 yen stamp attached.
