Background of “NEO Neon” implementation
[Image 4
Togura Kamiyamada On is said to be the pioneer of entertainment districts in hot spring areas, and there are nearly 100 restaurants in the entertainment district with many snacks. While regular customers continue to visit even during the corona crisis, it is difficult for young people to open the door due to the difficulty of entering, such as “unclear price experience”, “don’t know how to enjoy it”, and “consideration for regular customers”. There is a status quo. Therefore, a project called “NEO Neon” was started with the aim of reigniting the snack culture in order to redefine snacks from local resources and have them use them casually. A tour for the general public will be held on December 9th and January, and a snack course will also be held in Shibuya so that people from outside the prefecture can learn about the charm of Kamiyamada Onsen Town Snacks.
