A local video contest invites students to explore Hachioji in groups and make 30-to-60-second Instagram reels about the city.

Why it surfaced

The site turns a city walk into a participatory media project: organizers match solo applicants into groups of five or six, then publish the finished reels through Hachioji's official まちる八王子 Instagram account. With registration open and the first event scheduled for September 27, it offers a concrete glimpse of how a city is recruiting young people to reinterpret itself.
