Here’s information on monitor tours and experience tours from various locations in Japan. We are recruiting participants for a “Learn, See, and Taste” experience tour in Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture, where you can fully engage your five senses!

[Fukushima Prefecture, Japan]

Explore and Savor Koriyama, Fukushima with All Your Senses!

Koriyama City is hosting a tour where participants, aged 20 and above, from outside Fukushima Prefecture can experience the nature, culture, and cuisine of Koriyama. Through traditional cultural experiences, agricultural activities, and dialogue with the locals, you can fully enjoy the charm of Koriyama.

Despite being known as a transportation hub with a Shinkansen (bullet train) station, many people have never visited Koriyama. For those thinking, “I’d like to visit, but I’m not sure where to go,” we have prepared a tour that encapsulates the allure of Koriyama.

The only three conditions for participants are as follows:

1. Reside outside Fukushima Prefecture.
2. Share the experience of the tour on your own social media channels (Instagram, X [formerly Twitter], Facebook, etc.).
3. Provide feedback through a tour-related questionnaire.

This tour offers an opportunity for an almost regular trip with the added benefit of affordable accommodation and meals. Group applications of up to three people are also accepted.

Please check the application page for more details.
