OUR EVENTS
We're looking for volunteers to help out!
The Diamond Princess cruise ship makes several port calls in Yokkaichi throughout the year.
We're continuing our relationship with the Yokkaichi Chamber of Commerce and Industry as well as the Komono Chamber of Commerce in order to promote our local attractions and build bridges with others through community interaction.
We'd like to give a big thanks to everyone who has and will support us!
