To coincide with the National Conference for Creating a Rich Ocean, which will be held in Shima City, Mie Prefecture on Sunday, November 2025, 11, Shima City has created an original bottle with a special design.
Sales began in mid-June at registered retail stores in the city, with a limited quantity of 6 bottles.

This original bottle is one of the projects promoting the use of personal bottles that has been ongoing since fiscal year 4 as part of Shima City's carbon neutral initiative.
We are encouraging the use of reusable bottles in order to reduce CO2 emissions and plastic waste.
The newly released bottle is made of stainless steel, has a capacity of 500ml, and comes in four colors: pink, brown, yellow, and blue.
The design was created by Shima City-based illustrator Shanti, and features illustrations that are full of the charm of the Shima sea, such as female divers, spiny lobsters, abalone, pearl oysters, and pufferfish.
| Price | 1,500yen(tax included) |
*Prices differ from in-store sales due to the addition of fees when selling through the online shop.
Shima City will continue to carry out a demonstration project for the "Japanese version of ride sharing (private car utilization project)" based on the national system in fiscal year 6.
This project involves local drivers using their own cars to provide transportation services for a fee under the management of taxi companies.
In this regard, we ask for your cooperation in the following two areas:
Tourist facilities, accommodation facilities, restaurants, etc. are asked to cooperate in providing information to visitors.
We have prepared a leaflet (A4 size) and a poster (B2 size) outlining the project's outline, so please feel free to contact the Shima City General Policy Division if you require one.
This project is recruiting "drivers" for a shuttle service that utilizes an app and is targeted at local residents.
Anyone with a Class 1 driver's license for a regular vehicle can apply, and even if you do not have your own vehicle, a taxi company will provide one.
Working hours are mainly on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights (20:00-24:00), but shorter working hours are also possible.
We would appreciate your help in spreading the information to interested employees and local residents.
For details, please refer to the "Driver Recruitment Overview" and "Business Introduction Leaflet" below.
We appreciate your understanding and support for this project.
