About Us
Here is some information on the governing body.
Our Mission
The areas under Akita Inu Tourism's purview are a region of Akita Prefecture where social problems such as aging and a declining population have become particularly serious. In addition to the regional network, we will strengthen cooperation with companies and various organizations outside the region to attract visitors with the charm of Northern Akita and by creating value.
Disseminating tourist information
Akita Inu Tourism actively disseminates information through various media, including its website and various SNSs. We reach out to a wide range of users by linking online and real-life activities while promoting the attractions in our purview to improve their visibility.
Produce local products
Northern Akita is a thriving agricultural area, and is one of the nation's top producers of edamame (young soybeans) in particular. In order to promote quality local agricultural products and traditional food culture throughout Japan, Akita Inu Tourism works with local farmers and food manufacturers to produce specialty products, especially souvenirs.
