Japanese television networks have released various programs focusing on regional tourism, seasonal specialties, and local activities.

Initial programming highlights include autumn travel and cuisine, such as tours of the Boso Peninsula in Chiba and railway-themed travel shows ranking autumn foliage destinations like Mount Takao and Hakone. In Miyagi Prefecture, special live broadcasts are scheduled to showcase seasonal ingredients and scenic spots.

Subsequent programming features travel challenges and fishing endeavors. One program follows a 260-kilometer journey from Ibaraki to Mount Tanigawa involving unique taxi fare rules and local delicacies. Another program features a fishing attempt to catch a massive stingray in Suo-Oshima, Yamaguchi Prefecture, noting the increasing presence of such fish in the Seto Inland Sea due to rising seawater temperatures.
