Your company/Hanamaki Hot Springs Co., Ltd. has made great efforts to accept students from Pingtung University and to purchase pineapples from Pingtung Prefecture, greatly contributing to Taiwan-Japan exchanges and the development of our prefecture.
Therefore, I would like to express my gratitude to your company for your tireless enthusiasm and efforts.

In April 2021, Hanamaki Onsen purchased 6 tons of pineapples from Pingtung County as a token of gratitude for the support provided during the Great East Japan Earthquake.
This time, we have newly purchased 2 tons of pineapples, and we plan to start providing them to customers from around May.
Please enjoy the sweet and juicy pineapple shipped directly from Taiwan!

In addition, we accept internship students from Taiwan from five universities including Pingtung University.
It is playing a major role as one of the efforts to attract foreign tourists, who have been increasing rapidly since the end of the coronavirus pandemic.

We will continue to deepen exchanges in various ways and invigorate the tourism industry.
Thank you for your continued support of Hanamaki Onsen.
