■Maintaining Local Resources and Promoting Tourism

Due to the sudden withdrawal of the previous operator, Lake Yamba Station Maruwa faces the possibility of being without a designated manager. If this situation continued, the tourism promotion facility built with taxpayer funds would not be fully utilized, threatening to lead to the decline of the local economy and tourism.

As a regional development division, we actively participated in the operation of the tourism promotion facilities, taking advantage of our existing express bus and charter bus business and amphibious bus operations. We decided to take on the role of designated manager in order to contribute to the development of the town and the creation of employment.

With the maintenance and utilization of local resources becoming a nationwide issue in the tourism industry, there are high expectations for the creation of a model for regional revitalization through collaboration between public transportation and tourism facilities.

■Providing new value by integrating local production for local consumption and transportation infrastructure

<Development of new menus utilizing local agricultural products

A new menu has been developed that uses a variety of fresh vegetables produced by the company's agricultural subsidiary, TOMY FARM Co. The new menu will promote local production for local consumption and provide "only available here" food attractions.
