Kinki Regional Agricultural Administration Office

The Kinki Regional Agricultural Administration Office oversees farming activities across six prefectures including Shiga, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyogo, Nara, and Wakayama. It processes permits, licenses, and technical guidance for agricultural operations throughout this multi-prefecture region.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries established this regional office on May 1, 1963, to coordinate agricultural policy across the Kinki region. Its creation reflected Japan's post-war effort to systematize farming production and support rural communities.

This office manages policies that connect traditional Japanese farming methods with contemporary approaches while recognizing each prefecture's distinct agricultural identity. Local communities depend on these coordinated efforts to maintain their farming heritage while adapting to changing conditions.

Farmers and agricultural businesses can obtain permits, licenses, and clarification about regulations for their operations at this administrative center. Visitors should understand this is an official office and may find it helpful to research specific requirements before visiting.

The office operates with programs specifically tailored to the different geographical and climate conditions of each prefecture it serves. These regional adaptations show how central authority balances uniform standards with respect for local farming realities.
