Yazu Town is nestled in eastern Tottori, surrounded by mountains over 1,000 meters high. The area is famous for its rich fruit production, including the specialty "Hana-Gosho" persimmon, as well as pears, apples, and grapes, painting the town in vibrant fruit colors in autumn. The town is actively pursuing a sustainable future, blending beautiful original landscapes and traditions with new ways of living and working. An interesting local initiative is the "Hayabusa Lab.," a business hub created from a renovated closed school.
