Accommodation

Kamiyama Dialog Hub is the visitor gateway to one of rural Japan's most talked-about towns. Run by Dialog Hub Kamiyama LLC, it operates out of a converted storehouse ("Kura") in the center of Kamiyama. It is the town's only tourist information center. Every reviewer who visits recommends stopping here first.

The hub organizes guided town walks and themed experience programscovering Kamiyama's unusual story. A depopulating mountain town that turned itself around by welcoming artists, remote workers, and eventually Kamiyama Marugoto National College of Technology. Tours run around 3 hours and are priced from¥19,800 for up to three people. They also arrange custom programs on request for companies and school groups.

This is not a coworking space or coliving. None of the reviews mention WiFi or working, and the website has no mention of workspace facilities. For digital nomads visiting or considering Kamiyama, Dialog Hub is the best first stop to understand the town's community infrastructure, get oriented, and connect with local people before deciding where to base yourself.

About Kamiyama

Kamiyama is a small mountain town in the forested interior of Tokushima prefecture, widely regarded as Japan's pioneering rural digital nomad destination. Since the early 2010s, the town's NPO Green Valley has attracted tech companies, designers, and remote workers to set up satellite offices here, reversing decades of rural depopulation. Today Kamiyama is home to a cluster of creative businesses, a guesthouse (Week Kamiyama), artisan cafes, and the landmark Kamiyama Valley Satellite Office Complex. If you want to understand what rural remote work in Japan can look like at its best, Kamiyama is the reference case.
