THE PROMOTION OF LOCAL INDUSTRY,


 AND ATTRACTIVE COMMERCIAL AREAS. 

An area rich in forests, Hita has long been prosperous 
as a distribution center for forest resources and pulpwood, 
and its industries reflect the special features of Hita;
lumber, furniture, wooden shoes, building fixtures, 
wood and bamboo crafts, etc. 

In addition, efforts are being made to create unique,
 attractive, commercial districts, which are not simply places 
to do the shopping, but rather convenient recreation spots 
which offer the residents a new lifestyle.
