About HAYAMA NOWA

HAYAMA NOWA is a marketplace that connects
shops and makers rooted in Hayama Town with the world.

We share not only products,
but also the natural environment, daily rhythms,
and way of life that shape them.

Portal × E-commerce × Experience

HAYAMA NOWA is more than an online shop.

It is a portal into Hayama —
a place where products carry the stories of the people,
the land, and the life behind them.

Discover Hayama through products.
Connect with the town through workshops and experiences.
Spend real time here, and feel drawn to return.

HAYAMA NOWA is designed as an entry point
where buying naturally leads to visiting.

What Makes Us Unique

HAYAMA NOWA combines the perspective of a regional portal
with the functionality of an international e-commerce marketplace.

  • Only shops and makers operating in Hayama Town may participate
  • Product listings emphasize background, context, and story
  • The platform is designed to support international customers
  • Workshops and experiences are introduced alongside products

We value thoughtful introduction
over listing in volume.

Connection to Hayama Town

Hayama is a town surrounded by sea and mountains,
where nature and daily life exist side by side.

HAYAMA NOWA aims to convey the work and lives shaped here
from within the town itself — as they are.

Not Hayama as a destination to be consumed,
but Hayama as an extension of everyday life.

Through products and experiences,
we quietly share this perspective with the world.

Vision

To transform Hayama
from "a place you know"
into "a place you return to, again and again."

Mission

  • Connect the work of Hayama's shops and makers to the world sustainably
  • Deepen understanding of the town through products and experiences
  • Create pathways where buying naturally leads to visiting

About Our Operation

HAYAMA NOWA is operated by a small team
with deep personal ties to Hayama Town.

Through ongoing dialogue with local sellers and community members,
we are carefully nurturing this platform step by step.

Our goal is to create a space that endures —
maintaining a comfortable distance
for sellers, buyers, and visitors alike.

Looking Ahead

HAYAMA NOWA is not a finished service.

It is a living platform that evolves
with the town and the movement of people.

Discover Hayama through products.
Connect through experiences.
And feel invited to return.

We would be honored
if your first step begins here.

Some features, including marketplace functionality and international sales support, are currently in preparation.
