Aomaru 47 Product Exhibition at Otemachi Tower

Tokyo Tatemono and Mizuho Financial Group have joined forces to promote regional revitalization through the 'Aomaru 47 Product Exhibition', which began in January 2025. This exhibition gathers local specialties from all 47 prefectures of Japan, showcasing the unique flavors and products of each region to the heart of Tokyo. The first focus will be on products from Shizuoka and Saitama Prefectures, set to feature prominently on February 17 and 18, 2026.

Exhibition Overview

The venue for this ongoing event is the picturesque 'Mori no Plaza' located within the Otemachi Tower in Chiyoda, Tokyo. Otemachi Tower is a multifaceted complex that comprises office spaces, a hotel, and retail zones, interconnected with five subway lines via a convenient underground passage to Otemachi Station. With the collaboration of Mizuho FG—the only megabank to have branches in all 47 prefectures—the exhibition capitalizes on the highly accessible location to attract both local office workers and subway commuters alike.

The Aomaru 47 Product Exhibition is characterized by its dedication to highlighting regional products, ranging from Shizuoka's renowned sweets and specialties to Saitama's local agricultural produce, especially well-known for its fresh vegetables and sweets. Notably, Saitama's Fukaya City will present its flavorful Fukaya green onions, strawberries, and broccolis, paired with the appearance of the city's mascot, Funka-chan, scheduled for both exhibition days.

The Significance of Regional Revitalization

Both Tokyo Tatemono and Mizuho FG emphasize the importance of participating in national initiatives that foster local economic growth. By regularly hosting this exhibition, they aim to provide artisans and producers from various regions with a platform to share their creations, thereby contributing to the community's vitality and awareness.
