Influencer Video Contest

— Win 127,000 yen

We’re selecting 12 influencers/creators only to join an exclusive video collaboration campaign.

Each selected creator will publish one video in collaboration with us (as a collaborator post) by June 30, 2025.

prizes

… Grand Prize: 127,000 yen cash

The video with the highest performance will win a 127,000 yen cash prize.

… 2nd & 3rd Place: A beautiful Warm Moon Lamp — a perfect symbol of calm, creativity, and quiet creative nights.

… All participating influencers will likely be considered for future paid video collaborations, as we’re looking to build long-term working relationships.

… All participating influencers will also receive a priority invitation to participate in our next video contest.

How the Winner Is Chosen

We’ll calculate results using this simple, transparent formula:

Total Score = (Views × 0.01) + (Likes × 1) + (Shares × 1.5)

(Measured directly from your post)

Comments and saves are not included to keep things fair and trackable.

Transparency

As a collaborator, you’ll have access to all participating influencers’ video stats through our page, ensuring that results are fully transparent and visible to everyone involved.

Note: The video will not be used by us in any other way.

Creative/Theme

No creative limitations. The video can be short or long (no time constraint). The Languages used in the videos can be English, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Korean, or no language at all (non-verbal).

There’s no specific theme, and you're free to use any style you like. That said, we do have a soft spot for videos that evoke elegance, serenity, and peace—qualities we believe people associate with Japan.

Ultimately, scoring is based on engagement metrics, so feel free to create whatever you believe will resonate most with your audience.

To help us reach more potential customers, please mention us clearly as a tour provider or use our logo in the video. Inviting us as a collaborator alone won’t be enough. Please include a brief introduction of our service, so that interested viewers can learn more about us. A good idea would be to use one or some of the short slogan videos in the resource link below (the ‘Influencer’s Package’ button at the end of this page).

Note: The participating influencers are micro-influencers, with audiences generally ranging between approximately 10,000 and 120,000 followers. Each has been carefully selected for their potential to achieve top-performing content, based on some of their trending videos and the unpredictable nature of the algorithm.

Participating influencers may be offered fixed payments for future promotional videos and considered for a long-term collaboration as affiliates or brand ambassadors.
