Our Goal: Let Visitors Take Home as Much of Akita’s Charm as Possible

The 'Omagari Fireworks' is Japan’s premier fireworks competition, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. However, due to limited accommodations, few visitors have the opportunity to explore the surrounding areas before or after the event.

We launched this project with a shared desire: to ensure that visitors who come to see the fireworks also experience and appreciate the charm of Akita, even if just a little.

We will source unique Akita ingredients and seasonal delicacies directly from local producers we know personally. Additionally, producer visit tours are scheduled for July 21 and 22, with updates to be shared via official social media channels.
