Kurashimanet is Shimane Prefecture’s relocation information portal, operated by the Furusato Shimane Foundation to support people considering a U-turn or I-turn move to the region. It helps prospective residents explore what living in Shimane could involve, bringing together practical information and ways to take the next step.

The site covers job searching, housing, daily life, relocation experiences, municipalities, and support programs. Visitors can browse job listings and vacant-home information, learn about Shimane’s 19 municipalities, and find articles, videos, blogs, and personal stories from people who have moved there. The portal also shares information about relocation fairs, local events, community activities, and other opportunities to connect with Shimane.

For more direct assistance, Kurashimanet offers online consultation reservations, contact details for support offices in Matsue, Iwami, and Tokyo, and access to registration, newsletters, and information requests. By gathering guidance, local perspectives, and support resources in one place, the portal helps people prepare for a move and discover possibilities for building a life in Shimane.
