[Kansai Local] Compilation of Local Commercials Aired in Kansai (61–70)

Suzakutei

Suzaku Residence TV commercial now airing

This is a commercial for Suzaku-tei, a wedding venue located about a five-minute walk from Enmachi Station.

Many people probably remember the catchphrase, “Kyoto Enmachi, the town of bonds.” The video beautifully captures everything from the building’s exterior to its interior, and together with the violin BGM, it clearly conveys the venue’s pure and serene atmosphere.

Eastern Harima Prefectural Citizens BureauHaru Konishi, Rinka Takaoka, Honoka Hata

A compilation of “Commercials of Higashi-Harima,” a Hyogo tourist area alongside Kobe and Himeji

This commercial from the Higashi-Harima Prefectural Citizens Bureau focuses on Higashi-Harima-chan, a member of HYOGO, an idol group themed around Hyogo Prefecture.

Through HYOGO’s portrayal, it self-deprecatingly notes that Higashi-Harima is less flashy compared to Kobe or Himeji, while energetically promoting its charms.

By personifying the region and presenting it as a drama, it’s easier to empathize—and you can’t help but want to cheer it on!

Takemoto Piano “About a Certain Place in the Kinki Region” Collaboration Version

Takemoto Piano commercial: Collaboration version for the film “About a Certain Place in the Kinki Region”

These commercials are based on the 2024 versions of the “More and More” and “Round and Round” spots, but they are collaboration commercials with the film “About a Certain Place in the Kinki Region” that aired in 2025.

While both commercials are the same as the 2024 versions from the beginning through the middle, the endings feature special collaborative touches, such as the line “Please watch the movie” and footage from the film.

This is the Grand Prix winner of the Hometown CM Awards 2025, in which municipalities across the prefecture produce commercials to showcase the charms of their regions.

It’s a commercial for Kawakami Village in southern Nara Prefecture, featuring compelling footage with a motovlog-like feel shot using a motorcycle-mounted camera.

The video highlights many beautiful locations around the village, and it’s crafted in a way that makes you think, “I want to see these stunning views with my own eyes!”

Tenrikyo

Tenrikyo TV commercial (Nara local)

This is a commercial that announces Tenrikyo’s festival day while also dramatically conveying the feelings imbued in it.

The keyword is “beginning,” and it expresses the idea that knowing the beginning connects to the feelings we hold today.

Although the visuals are simple—showing only the Church Headquarters in Nara Prefecture—the combination of BGM and narration seems to emphasize the strength of that sentiment.

Nara Prefectural Government Spot CM: “Shopping in Nara Prefecture”

Nara Prefectural Government Spot CM: “Shopping in Nara Prefecture”

This commercial gently conveys that enjoyable shopping within Nara Prefecture supports the lives of its residents.

It features people having fun shopping and Sento-kun, whose prayer-like pose also adds a comical touch.

Although the topic—how local tax money is used—is a serious one, Sento-kun’s appearance makes the visuals feel enjoyable.
