Tohoku Regional Agricultural Administration Office, Regional agricultural administration office in Sendai, Japan
The Tohoku Regional Agricultural Administration Office is a government facility in Sendai that oversees agricultural, forestry, and fisheries management across Japan's northeastern region. It coordinates activities across multiple prefectures and provides resources and technical support for the local farming sector.
This office was established in 1963 as part of Japan's national strategy to organize agricultural administration through regional centers. Following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, the facility expanded its work to support affected farmers in rebuilding their operations.
The office's jurisdiction covers six prefectures: Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, Akita, Yamagata and Fukushima. Its name, Tohoku, refers to the northeastern region, not a single prefecture. The Sendai Joint Government Building in Aoba Ward houses its divisions, including sections for consumer safety, production, rural development and statistics.
The office occupies the Sendai Joint Government Building in Honchō, Aoba Ward, in central Sendai. It is a working government office, not a visitor centre, so access is arranged through the relevant division rather than walk-in enquiries. The organisational chart lists divisions for consumption and safety, production, business support, rural development and statistics.
The office is housed in the Sendai Joint Government Building in Honmachi, Aoba Ward, and as of 1 April 2025 its organisation included a Statistics Department with sections for management and structural statistics and for production, distribution and consumption statistics, alongside departments for consumption and safety, production, business support and rural development.
