Hokuriku Regional Agricultural Administration Office

This regional agricultural office oversees farming activities across four prefectures - Niigata, Toyama, Ishikawa, and Fukui - from its headquarters in Kanazawa. It provides guidance on crop management, livestock care, and agricultural regulations to support local farming operations.

It was established on May 1, 1963, as part of Japan's national effort to strengthen regional agricultural management. This institution helped modernize farming practices across the four prefectures during the period of postwar economic development.

It works alongside local farming communities and research centers to support both established cultivation practices and innovation in agriculture. This cooperation helps preserve regional farming knowledge while making space for contemporary methods.

The office is located in Kanazawa and serves farmers and visitors from across the region. Since it is an administrative facility, contacting ahead is recommended if you want specific information or have questions about regional farming policies.

The office has developed specialized rice cultivation programs tailored to the Hokuriku region's specific climate and soil. These adapted methods help farmers work with the area's particular environmental conditions to achieve better harvests.
