The history of Koriyama that connects to the name "Pioneering"

The word "development" in the coupon name is a word deeply relevant when considering the development of Koriyama

Originally, the area around present-day Koriyama had poor water access and was unsuitable for growing crops. However, the development of the Asaka Plain in the Meiji era led to significant urban growth. The historical story of the Asaka Canal has been designated a Japan Heritage siteby the Agency for Cultural Affairs.

There is an agricultural irrigation canal that runs from Lake Inawashiro to Koriyama City. This canal, called the "Asaka Canal," was built during the Meiji era and still irrigates Koriyama today, also being used for hydroelectric power generation. The historical story of the Asaka Canal, titled "A Single Waterway That Opened the Future - Toshimichi Okubo's 'Last Dream' and the Path of Pioneers: Koriyama and Inawashiro," has been designated a Japan Heritage site by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. It has also been registered as a World Heritage Irrigation Structure by the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID).

The announcement mentions that the water has been used to grow rice and vegetables and to brew sake, and highlights Koriyama's food and culture as a highlight of the trip. When choosing accommodation, it seems you can also consider what you would like to visit, such as hot springs, crafts, or food
