Background of the Event

Osaki Town is located in the southeastern part of Kagoshima Prefecture and boasts a variety of specialty products nurtured by its rich natural environment, including eel, mangoes, sweet potatoes, and Kuroge Wagyu beef.

Therefore, this time, we are holding "Osaki Town Fan Meeting in Tokyo" targeting residents of the Tokyo metropolitan area, as a place to experience Osaki Town's food and lifestyle up close.
