Aomori Tsugaru-shi あおもりけん つがるし

How Tsugaru-shi uses donations

• 0. None in particular (used for general city administration)

  The donation will be used for a variety of projects to solve the city's problems and promote attractive town development.

  

• 1. Promotion of agriculture

  Summer in Tsugaru-shi is relatively cool, making it an ideal region for growing rice and summer/autumn vegetables, as the outbreak of pests and diseases is suppressed.
  We are working to expand sales channels for agricultural products and revitalize agriculture, such as by certifying eight major agricultural products as the "Tsugaru Brand" and shipping them all over the country.

  

• 2. Enriching festivals and events

  The "Cheseborough Cup Swimming Ekiden" is a challenge to swim 10,200km by adding up the swimming distance by all participants every year. "Horse Market" is also held, and on the final day of the market, Uma Nebuta Parade is held at day, and the Nitta Fire Festival is held at night. Many festivals and events are held in the city, especially from July to August.

  

• 3. Protection of cultural properties and heritage

  The goggle-eyed dogu, which is kept at the Tokyo National Museum as a nationally important cultural property, was excavated from the Kamegaoka Stone Age ruins in the city.
  On July 27, 2021, the "Jomon Ruins Centered in Hokkaido and Northern Tohoku", which includes ruins within the city, was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site.

  

• 4. Child care support

  As the number of births decreases year by year, we are working on childcare support with the aim of creating an environment where parents can give birth with peace of mind and reducing the burden and anxiety of raising children.
  We hope that Tsugaru-shi will be full of smiles on the faces of children in Tsugaru-shi, where people are connected, their thoughts are connected, and their spirits are connected.

  

• 5. Promotion of tourism

  Tsugaru-shi is working on tourism promotion to increase the number of tourists.
  Bense Wetland, which was designated as one of Japan's top 100 natural sites in 1983, is an early summer tourist spot where you can see daylilies blooming all over in mid-June, and large colonies of Japanese irises near July.
