Iitate Village is located on the Pacific Ocean side of Fukushima Prefecture. In the past, the village flourished mainly through agriculture and stockbreeding, and became famous for its highland flower cultivation and brand-name Iitate beef. Recently, the village has seen an increase in the number of young people moving to the area, creating a new and lively atmosphere.
With the population of permanent residents declining, we are hoping to increase the number of related residents, and are actively planning participation in local events, including petit agricultural experiences and tours of local hot spots, in order to attract people in younger age groups from urban areas and create a lively village and exciting experience. And I’m working that I want to make more in charge of the platform for the people who are visiting.
