■ Akita Inu Tourism Co., Ltd.

Akita Inu Tourism was established in April 2016 as a regional cooperation DMO consisting of four municipalities, Odate City, Kitaakita City, Kosaka Town, and Kamikoani Village in the northern part of Akita Prefecture, and tourism in November 2017. Registered as a Japanese version of DMO corporation by the Agency.

Based on the concept of “No need to visit the Akita Inu Kingdom-Enjoy food and healing in the mysterious northeastern north”, the Akita dog, which inherits the Jomon dog’s DNA, is a valuable resource such as the Jomon ruins and Lake Towada eruption ruins. It is an organization established to establish the Akita Inu Tourism Zone brand that aims to promote tourists’ visits and stays by appealing to Japan and abroad the various ruins, industrial heritage that has flourished in mines for a long time, and traditional food. .. The background behind the establishment is the reduction in local consumption and the decline in regional vitality due to the decline in population, which the four cooperating municipalities recognized as common issues.

While the number of foreign visitors to Japan is increasing every year, the popular “Akita Inu” overseas is used as a hook to bring the charm of Akita, which is not in the city, from the northeastern area to the world, such as Akita Inu, hot springs, food, and experience. We aim to realize regional revitalization by proactively disseminating content and promoting the branding of local products.
