Kazama Fumiyoshi Takes on New Role as Tourism Ambassador for Tadami Town

On April 17, 2025, Adventurer Fumiyoshi Kazama was officially appointed as the first tourism ambassador for Tadami Town, located in Fukushima Prefecture's Minamiaizu District. This event, held at the town hall, marks a significant step towards promoting the local charm and attractions of Tadami.

Kazama, who is well-known for his adventurous spirit and efforts in environmental conservation, is set to leverage his platform and his initiative, "Chikyuu Genki Mura" (Earth Vibrant Village), to highlight the uniqueness of Tadami Town. He aims to organize various events that showcase the beautiful natural scenery and rich culture that Tadami has to offer.

In a statement, Tadami Town Mayor, Yutaka Watanabe, expressed hope that Kazama would excavate and share the town's hidden treasures, encouraging joy in living among the youth. Kazama echoed this sentiment by describing Tadami as akin to a library—rich with knowledge and experiences waiting to be discovered. He is determined to relay the wonders of Tadami’s nature and its welcoming community to as many people as possible.

Kazama's appointment comes at a time when local tourism is crucial for the region, particularly as it continues to recover from previous challenges. Through his new role, Kazama plans to not only attract visitors but also inspire local residents to cherish and promote their home. His perspective on Tadami aligns with a broader vision of elevating the importance of local communities and preserving their environments.

In his upcoming ambassadorial activities, Kazama intends to introduce innovative programs that resonate with both locals and tourists alike. By focusing on the town's natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and community spirit, he hopes to craft events that are educational and enjoyable for all ages.

To further support Kazama's initiatives, the Japanese Riders Forum (JRF), the organization behind his ambassadorial role, plays a pivotal part in promoting motorcycle culture and fostering community engagement through various events. Some of their prominent activities include the "SSTR," a touring rally focused on chasing the sun, the "Nippon Ouen Touring" that combines community support with touring, and the "Mother Lake Rally," which celebrates female riders while touring Lake Biwa.

In addition to promoting tourism, these events highlight the importance of social contribution and disaster relief efforts, resonating with JRF's mission to elevate the status of riders in society. Each endeavor not only aims to entertain but also to empower communities and enhance local tourism—an ideology Kazama fully supports.

Kazama’s role as the tourism ambassador of Tadami Town marks an exciting new chapter for both him and the community. It emphasizes the potential of adventure tourism as a medium to transform local economies while fostering a deeper appreciation for nature and culture. As he embarks on this journey, Kazama’s passion and belief in the inherent beauty of Tadami will surely shine through, attracting visitors and inspiring locals alike.
