Main efforts to date
1 Tourism transmission base and monuments, etc.
In April 2016, `` Inagi Transmission Base Pair Terrace '' opened under the elevated JR Nambu Line Inagi Naganuma Station as a base to disseminate the charms of Inagi. In addition to revitalizing the area in collaboration with neighboring shopping streets, we also disseminate Inagi tourist information, sell specialty products, and also have a cafe space where you can enjoy light drinks using local ingredients.
Additionally, as part of the project, a 3.6m tall Gundam and Char's Zaku have been installed in front of the facility, and a monument to Yatter One has been installed in front of Minamitama Station on the JR Nambu Line. .
Additionally, we have installed 14 design plates of ``Yatter One'' and ``Scope Dog'' on the fall prevention fence of the ``Shinbori'' irrigation canal on the south side of JR Nambu Line Inagi-Naganuma Station.
2 Furusato Nozei Rewards
Furusato Nozei is a system to support prefectures and municipalities with which you have a strong attachment to your hometown in the form of donations. The city presents special products of the city as a reward to those who donate 10,000 yen or more. Some of the rewards are related to the project, such as a pin badge set designed by Kunio Okawara.
