Treasures of Hokuryu Town

Hokuryu Town, Hokkaido, is a town of sunflowers. A warm, harmonious spirit, a caring heart, and the philosophy that "food is life" live on here. Since 2010, we have been following the story of this town, which Mayor Yasuhiro Sasaki has proclaimed to be "small but sparkling." We share this inspiration with the world. We deliver "joyful empathy" across borders in eight languages, connecting pro-Japanese countries and major languages.
