[Toyama Prefecture] A Sustainable Tour Utilizing Jizoku Inc.’s Carbon Credits

Jizoku Inc. is pleased to announce that its carbon credits will be utilized in the upcoming sustainable travel tour “Toya CO Tour”, taking place in Toyama City and Imizu City, Toyama Prefecture. The tour is hosted by Imizu City and organized by the General Incorporated Association Toyama no Me.

This sustainable tour is centered on the themes of “sustainability,” “relocation,” and “transportation.” Participants will not only enjoy the natural beauty, cuisine, and attractions of Toyama, but also engage in environmental education and experience interaction with local communities, offering insights into both sustainability and regional lifestyles. Eco-conscious transportation options will be used during the tour to minimize emissions. Remaining greenhouse gas emissions that cannot be eliminated through transportation methods will be offset using carbon credits generated by Jizoku in collaboration with rice farmers in Toyama Prefecture. Participants will also receive a carbon offset certificate as part of the program.

This tour aims to be a journey that inspires awareness for a better future. Why not explore the possibilities of a new lifestyle and a sustainable tomorrow together? For those interested, please see the links below.
