Written by

A voluntary tourism organization that conveys the charms of the northern Kinki regions of Tanba, Tajima, Tango, and Wakasa. The tastes of the North Kansai region are not limited to crab, which is representative of the taste of the sea in winter, but also oysters, yellowtails, blowfish, and summer clams, rock oysters, and white squid. Tamba chestnuts, Tanba black soybeans, and summer fruits such as sand dune melons are the areas where you can enjoy gourmet foods all year round. I would be happy if I could visit the vast North Kinki region many times and disseminate information that allows you to travel by train.
