Teshikagacho received the "Gold Award" in the "Green Destinations Awards," an awards program conducted by the international certification organization "Green Destinations" that promotes sustainable tourism. The Green Destinations Awards evaluate the sustainability of tourist destinations based on a wide range of international criteria, including environmental protection, local culture, tourism management, regional economy, and social sustainability. The evaluation is conducted through a document review of 84 items and an on-site assessment. This award recognizes Teshikagacho's long-standing efforts to create a sustainable community, which have been highly praised internationally, involving residents, businesses, and local government working together. Additionally, this marks the second Gold Award in Japan, following Kamaishi City, making it the highest domestic recognition at this time. Notably, this is the first instance in Japan where a location has received a Gold Award on its first attempt, marking a significant achievement. While this Gold Award is a major milestone for Teshikagacho, it is not the end goal. Moving forward, residents, businesses, and local government will continue to collaborate in efforts to achieve both environmental conservation and regional revitalization.
