Hiroshima Setouchi Nomad Fest 2026 is a three-week workation program running October 11 to November 1, 2026, where remote workers from around the world live, work and explore together across Hiroshima City and Matsuyama in Japan's Setouchi region. Organised by the Digital Nomads Hiroshima community, it splits into two phases: an urban connection phase in Hiroshima (Oct 11 to 25) built around networking, workshops, cultural immersion and weekend nature trips, and a slower retreat phase in Matsuyama and the Setouchi islands (Oct 25 to Nov 1) centred on hot springs, castles and local literary culture. The theme is "Yohaku: Feel Your Growth". Participants can join for a single week or stay the full three weeks, with separate Hiroshima, Matsuyama and All Access passes.

Workation Program Across Japan's Setouchi Region

Experience three weeks of remote work and cultural immersion across Hiroshima City and Matsuyama from October 11 to November 1, 2026. This unique workation program brings together remote workers from around the world for an organized blend of productivity, networking, and exploration.

Two-Phase Structure

The program divides into two distinct experiences. The first phase takes place in Hiroshima City from October 11-25, focusing on urban connections through networking events, workshops, and cultural immersion activities. Weekend nature trips provide balance to the city-based work environment.

The second phase shifts to Matsuyama and the Setouchi islands from October 25 to November 1, offering a slower-paced retreat atmosphere. This phase centers around hot springs, historic castles, and the region's rich literary culture.

Flexible Participation Options

Join for a single week or commit to the full three-week experience. The organizers offer separate passes for Hiroshima, Matsuyama, or all-access participation, allowing flexibility based on your schedule and interests.

Theme and Philosophy

The festival operates under the theme "Yohaku: Feel Your Growth," emphasizing personal and professional development through cultural exchange and new experiences in Japan's scenic Setouchi region.

Community Organization

Digital Nomads Hiroshima organizes this annual gathering, creating structured opportunities for remote workers to connect while exploring one of Japan's most culturally rich areas known for its islands, traditional architecture, and natural beauty.
