Whatʼs Local Tourism ？

"Local tourism" is about experiencing the nature, food, and culture unique to a region, and reliving the lifestyle rooted in that place. Kokofuru Tohoku is a travel site that offers this kind of local tourism. Through travel experiences, you can connect with people, strengthen your attachment to the region, love the area, and come to think of it as "hometown." We propose a form of travel that is a little different from "tourism."
