Student Group Looks to Hold Night Festival to Help Increase Tourism to Kouri Island, Okinawa
Creates Crowdfunding Project to Help Fund the Festival

They are looking to continue a festival they started last year, the Kouri Night Festival, by raising money via crowdfunding.
The island of Okinawa, located to the south of Japan, is a popular destination for many tourists, both Japanese and foreign due to its picturesque sights and amazing climate.

By using crowdfunding to help launch the event this year, the group is hoping to reach a larger group of people all over the world, in order to entice people to come to the island and help the community flourish.
