Popular tourist locations such as the historic town of Takayama, and the traditional village of Shirakawa-go will be represented in the new plaza along with the prefectures of Nagano, Gifu and Yamanashi. There will also be booths from ten municipalities with informational brochures, and displays of regional crafts and specialty products.
