Hello everyone. This is the Amakusa Reihoku Tourist Association.

On March 6–7 (Friday–Saturday), we held a joint product fair with Kikuchi City at the farmers’ market "grape vineyard" in Minami Ward, Fukuoka City.
Products representing the proud flavors of Kumamoto Prefecture’s mountains and seas gathered in Fukuoka for a lively event.

■ Collaboration: Kikuchi’s Mountains × Reihoku’s Sea
At this product fair, we sold Kikuchi City’s delicious rice and agricultural produce alongside a wide range of seafood and processed goods nurtured by Reihoku’s abundant sea.

■ Interaction with the local community
We were able to introduce Reihoku’s food appeal to many food-minded visitors to grape vineyard, and the experience was very meaningful for our staff.
Beyond sales, visitors showed interest in Reihoku’s scenery and travel attractions, and we feel the emotional distance between Fukuoka and Reihoku has grown a little smaller.
Also, on the first day, Friday, March 6, kumamon came to cheer us on, which thrilled the crowd 🐻

■ Thank you
Thank you very much to everyone who attended and to the staff of grape vineyard for providing the venue.
Through events like this, we will continue to bring Reihoku’s delicious flavors and excitement to the whole country.

Look forward to our next event!

On Saturday, February 28, we exhibited at Amakusa Fair 2026 in Fukuoka, held at HiRaKu in Tenjin, Fukuoka City. Blessed with good weather, many visitors stopped by our booth from the moment we opened.

■Reihoku’s seasonal specialties sold out—thank you!
We sold Reihoku’s proud salted dorayaki and processed goods made from fresh seafood.
The local products we prepared sold out one after another, which reminded us how much interest people in Fukuoka have in Amakusa.

■Tourism PR and hopes for air travel
At the same time, on the venue’s second floor, the Reihoku Town Community Development Cooperation Squad promoted Reihoku at the municipal booths. It was a valuable chance to directly convey Reihoku’s appeal and the convenience of air connections.

Hello everyone. This is the Amakusa Reihoku Tourist Association.
We took part in the “Discover Amakusa! Two-Region Living Experience and Exchange Event” held on Sunday, February 8th.
On the day, we met many people who live in urban areas and are highly interested in “two-region living,” maintaining a base in both city and countryside.

Booth Highlights
Under the theme “Another everyday wrapped in sea and sunset,” we introduced the town’s charms and accommodation options.
Particular interest focused on the rich natural environment, seasonal flavors that enhance daily life such as fresh seafood and citrus, and the warm, welcoming nature of the townspeople that greets first-time visitors.

Reflections on the Exchange
Two-region living offers more than lodging; it’s an experience of blending into the local everyday life.
We will continue preparing a welcoming environment that makes visitors want to say “I’m home.”

Thank you very much to everyone who stopped by our booth! All of our staff look forward to the day we can meet you in Reihoku.

Tracing the footprints of stories, an adult getaway.🌿

Amakusa Reihoku Literary Walk unearths Reihoku’s literary heritage and proposes a new kind of journey.
Recently, with the cooperation of people inside and outside the town, we held a monitored tour📖✨

Literary monuments blending into Reihoku’s beautiful scenery and the landscapes beloved by great writers. As you walk listening to a literary tourism guide’s commentary, the familiar streets begin to sparkle like a novel.
A stroll themed around “words” offered a wonderfully indulgent refresh that makes you forget the rush of daily life.

From now on, we will prepare to bring this “story” and the landscapes that gave it life to many more people. Look forward to future updates!

On November 19, we held the fourth workshop to develop a sightseeing walking route that lets visitors enjoy “Reihoku’s Literary Treasures,” turning the literary spots and heritage remaining in Reihoku into new tourism resources.

This workshop was the final session. Based on the feedback and ideas we have received so far, we reviewed the proposed route and the draft guide manual again and exchanged opinions with the participants.
We also read works related to Reihoku—Fumiko Hayashi’s Amakusa Nada and Ryōtarō Shiba’s Kaidō o Yuku 17—so participants could feel how the literature still connects with Reihoku today.

Going forward, we aim to develop this into an actual sightseeing tour. We will post progress updates on our website, so please look forward to them.

Note: We are also collecting ideas and useful tips from people who could not attend the workshop to help shape the walking route. Please take part in the survey on our company website’s news section.
