[NEWS] Echigo Shoman’s “Myoko Sekiyama Alpine Gastronomy” has been selected for the Japan Tourism Agency’s “New Regional Tourism Creation Project”

We are pleased to announce that the “Project to Create Alpine Gastronomy Experience-Based Tourism in Myoko Sekiyama ,” proposed by Echigo Shoman Co., Ltd. , has been selected for the “New Regional Tourism Creation Project (Special Selection Creation Type/Demand Distribution)” promoted by the Japan Tourism Agency.

In this project, we will work in collaboration with diverse local stakeholders and experts to create and promote high-value experiential tourism content that combines the rich natural environment and unique food culture of Myoko-Sekiyama.

Myoko City in Niigata Prefecture is known as a world-class ski resort, but the Myoko-Sekiyama area where we operate is home to stunning nature that shines not only in winter but throughout spring, summer, and autumn, as well as traditional agricultural products and a rich food culture.

By combining these valuable local resources with seasonal farming experiences and town walks, we aim to create sustainable, year-round gastronomy tours that will delight visitors from both within Japan and internationally (primarily from Europe, the Americas, and Australia) throughout the year, while also becoming a source of pride for the local community.

We will strive to eliminate the bias towards specific seasons and aim to boost the overall tourism value and economy of the Myoko-Sekiyama area.

Please look forward to future developments.
