Akabira City, which has long thrived due to the coal industry, is an area that continues to cherish and preserve the techniques passed down by the people of the past. The community works together to live, making it a very livable environment. One of the region's specialties is lump charcoal candy, which is sweetened with beet sugar from Hokkaido. The black color comes from bamboo charcoal, and it is so beautiful and sparkling that it has been called a black diamond. The area is also home to the Elm Highland Family Travel Village, where you can use camping facilities, hot springs, playground equipment, and more at low prices. It's a place where you can spend the whole day, and many families visit.
