Going beyond the framework of traditional product exhibitions, the entire building features one prefecture. By becoming a place that "connects" regions with people, things, events, and fruitful history and culture on the stage of Abeno Harukas, and by "layering" these connections rather than ending them as a one-time event, we will deliver the charm of various parts of Japan to more people more widely.
