On March 25, Hiroo (Hirosaki-shi, Ekimae-cho) held a talk session "Senbei Juice Detective Corps!". There were lively discussions about the possibility of regional revitalization through B-class gourmet and tourism volunteers.

Participants in the talk session were Satoshi Kimura of the Hachinohe Senbei Juice Research Institute and Chihiro Shikata of the Hirosaki Backstreet Detectives. Mr. Raisa Nishitani, president of the travel agency “Tabisuke” who hosted the event, hosted the event.

According to Mr. Nishitani, the event is being planned as part of a study group to create a “good town” for both residents and tourists. He wanted to hear from Mr. Kimura and Mr. Shikata, who were discovering the charms of the areas different from existing tourism programs in Hachinohe and Hirosaki, respectively.

Mr. Kimura said, "Until 10 years ago, most people in Hachinohe City did not think that rice cracker soup would be served to customers. Nowadays, as a B-class gourmet that is proud of all over the country, it is an economy for locals. The ripple effect is also great. The number of people learning the charm of Hachinohe through rice cracker soup is increasing. "

On the other hand, Mr. Shikata said, "A common problem with tourist guides nationwide is academic harassment. The purpose of the guide is to let tourists who come to enjoy the land. I make programs and cosplay to make them entertaining. "

Mr. Nishitani said to both groups, which have become a vital force for community development and town development, "Be proud not only of the town where they live, but of being proud of themselves. "One answer to the trend of landing-type tourism," concluded the event.

The company plans many projects going forward, including developing tourism programs for people with disabilities and holding events and study sessions for citizens.
