April 26, 2023 (Wednesday) Past decisions that created the current Inuyama Tourism and the future - Creating opportunities for new business development in your business -

In the keynote speech at the annual general meeting, Yoshinobu Hara, who was appointed Mayor of Inuyama this year, spoke about the past decisions that made Inuyama the tourist city it is today, and his thoughts on the future, drawing on his own experiences with Inuyama.
While the world was moving toward urban development to combat depopulation in rural areas, the city received a lot of criticism at the time, but its decision to preserve the old castle town streets led to the creation of the tourist city Inuyama we know today. However, there are still many challenges to overcome in revitalizing the region, and his desire to create a tourist town that will lead to the happiness of local residents was felt to be an important message for many other regions as well.
