 The differences between urban and rural area are increasing, and our region isn’t an exception, either. However, without any actions, nothing changes.
In the region where we live, there are rich nature, agriculture, local culture with history, and humanity life which cannot imitate in the city. There are things people lost in ICT society and life in the city here. Akizuno Garten is to vitalize the area by green tourism using rich local resources, and a company which supports that was established with the investment from local residents.
 
  

Thank you very much. 8th anniversary of Akizuno Garten

In November 1, 2008, it was the day the first green tourism business in the area was opened. It seems like it was yesterday that we opened the business having anxiety and expectations with your supports.
The actual plan of urban and rural city exchange in Kamiakizu was started in 2003, but the beginning was back to ‘Akizuno master plan’ formulate in 2000. By master plan formulate project, we got a whole details of the area by researching it, and it led to think about the future of the area.
Because we made every effort of explaining to local residents and gathering money, the plan was succeeded, and we are happy to contribute to the area’s development.
This green tourism business gets people’s attention and there are many inspection tours from all over Japan and even oversees. The wave of global economy shakes rural and agriculture in the area, but each resident thinks about region and hometown and gathers the ideas, then there will be a day we can overcome this difficult time. Akizuno Garten has taken a step toward it.
Thank you very much for all who supported us, and we kindly ask for your continued cooperation.
By the spirit of social business, we keep moving ahead with Akizuno green tourism.
