To promote new tourism through the city's appealing "food," we held a 2-day, 1-night tour utilizing JR trains to explore the city's "gourmet" and "tourist facilities," and a tour targeting "cycling" enthusiasts, a popular nature-based activity, to enjoy Nobeoka's tourist facilities, cycling courses, and "gourmet" from March 1st (Saturday) to March 2nd (Sunday).

This tour was divided into two parts: the "Nobeoka Gourmet Tour" and the "Nobeoka Cycling Gourmet Tour." A total of 46 people participated, mainly from Oita Prefecture, but also from Fukuoka and Kumamoto Prefectures (37 for the food tour and 9 for the cycling tour).

Tour participants visited various tourist attractions in the city, including Nobeoka Sanzo, and enjoyed delicious meals for lunch and dinner at restaurants owned by members of our association. Participants gave particularly high marks for the food, with some even saying they would "definitely come back," allowing us to fully promote Nobeoka as a city of gourmet food.
