THU Japan2023
Kaga City
New dates coming soon
We’re working to make this event a safe and unforgettable experience!
The dates will be announced soon, as well as exciting news.
THU Japan is a Storytelling bootcamp in Kaga City
The art of telling stories is what sets good creators apart from the great, no matter their creative background.
That’s why we created THU Japan and came up with an entirely new concept where you will live and breathe storytelling.
From talks with the best storytellers in the world to broccoli picking, and from masterclasses to sake tastings, you are in for the ultimate adventure.
Due to Covid-19, The dates for the event haven't been set yet. Be the first to get updates and more information!
Is THU japan for you?
If you're a creator looking to hone your storytelling skills, this is for you.
THU Japan is for everyone who wants to learn more about creating, structuring and telling stories with purpose.
Our goal is to encourage all industries to be creative, using storytelling to help ideas reach new heights.
Why storytelling?
The greatest tool to inspire and engage others.
In times of information overload and content saturation, a story needs to be unique to cut through the noise.
Despite being the backbone of any project or creative endeavor, storytelling is still not recognized as the future of the industry or prioritized as a skill creators need to learn and master.
It’s time to change that.
