群馬県が県立赤城公園(前橋市)で整備を進めていた複合施設「赤城ビジターセンター(スノーピークランドステーション赤城)」の竣工(しゅんこう)式が16日に開かれた。19日に開業する。アウトドアビジネスを手がけるスノーピークが指定管理を担う。同社の水口貴文社長は「赤城を訪れた人の玄関口にしたい」と話した。

施設には、赤城山頂エリアを紹介する観光案内や24時間使えるトイレ、コインシャワーなどを設けた。地元物産品などを販売する同社直営のショップ、室内に66席あるカフェも入る。

県は赤城公園の活性化に取り組んでおり、4月末には同社が指定管理者として運営するキャンプフィールドが開業した。両拠点の整備事業費は約37億円。それぞれの施設で出る利益の一部は県に還元される。

県自然環境課によると、赤城公園は1970~80年代には年間100万人を超える人が訪れたが、近年は落ち込み、25年度は約70万人。両拠点の開業で年間来場者計10万人の上積みを目指す。

A local government aims to increase awareness by using self-deprecating jokes such as ``We haven't found out yet'' and ``Kusatsu is a place without hot springs'' in tourism PR.

Akita Prefecture distributed accommodation coupons with a catchphrase that took advantage of the low awareness, and the total number of overnight guests in June increased by 34.4% compared to the same month last year, recording the highest growth rate in the country. Taking advantage of the confusion with Kusatsu Onsen in Gunma Prefecture, Kusatsu City in Shiga Prefecture promotes itself as ``Kusatsu for those who don't have hot springs'' and uses its mascot character ``Onsen Dorobou.'' Taking advantage of the fact that Tottori Prefecture has become the only prefecture in Japan without a store due to the opening of Matsuya, a campaign has been launched to solicit collaboration menus using local ingredients. All of them aim to promote tourism by communicating the charm of the region through self-deprecating material.

Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture promotes itself as ``Kusatsu for those who don't have hot springs,'' and its mascot character, ``Onsen Dorobou,'' is attracting attention.
