The product is offered by Funahashi Village in Toyama Prefecture, Japan's smallest village by area. Each set costs 4,980 yen including tax and includes an electronic bath ticket for the Funahashi Kaikan \"Satsuki no Yu\" public bath, a digital bath token NFT with an original design per VTuber, and a purchaser-only digital voice message. The bath ticket has no expiration date, allowing buyers to receive the digital content immediately and use the ticket when they eventually visit the village. A portion of sales is returned to support the VTubers' activities, which in turn supports the village's public facilities. The first collaboration VTubers are Mayudama Zakuro, an independent Toyama-based VTuber active in ghost stories, horror games, and ASMR, and Yuraku Meguri, a \"virtual bathhouse attendant\" who holds hot spring qualifications and visits onsens about 250 days a year. More VTubers will be added sequentially, with new collaborations planned each month. Digital content is delivered via the TOKKEN chat function, with production taking one to two months.","whyItMatters":"The project ties VTuber fandom to regional public facility use through NFTs, a model Alyawmu first applied to furusato tax donation return gifts across 26 municipalities.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe set is sold with no upper limit on stock, and the digital bath token can be transferred to another person.
