The Akasaka district in Minato Ward is an area expected to develop into one of the foremost international business and commerce districts in Tokyo. In the midst of this intensifying large-scale re-development, this richly unique neighborhood is peppered with sites where the Edo-era culture can still be felt even today, including the Akasaka Hikawa Shrine and a former feudal lord's residence. To ensure that this project contributes to Japan's development as a top tourist destination, we will provide support to strengthen the area's global competitiveness in the tourism industry by repairing and displaying Edo-style floats, establishing Japan-brand facilities to meet the needs of visitors interested in Japanese history and culture, inviting top-class hotels to host overseas guests, and pursuing other such measures.
