[Comment by Mr. Shohei Muroi, Mayor of Aizuwakamatsu City]
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan for supporting
Aizuwakamatsu's tourism project through the Aizu bottle. Like most other cities,
Aizuwakamatsu City has also been forced to reduce or cancel its usual festival and events dueto the COVID-19 crisis. Tourism is also continuing to suffer, but tourists are gradually returning
to Tsurugajo Castle and other places. We would appreciate your continued support.
[Comment by Toshiyuki Ninomiya, Fukushima District Manager, CCBJI]“Coca-Cola” Slim Bottles are loved by local communities as their local bottles and available
nationwide. The Aizu bottle has been well received as an exclusive bottle with the iconic designof the city symbol, Tsurugajo Castle, and popular folk toys in the Aizu region, Akabeko andOkiagarikoboshi.
I know that many citizens are suffering due to the recent pandemic, but when they drink it, I
hope they will be happy with the feeling of enjoying sightseeing. We will continue to work
closely with Aizuwakamatsu City to contribute to the community.
