Tōgane is home to the Kurenai Kai School of Japanese Embroidery, which produces handmade obi and kimono in the traditional Japanese style.
Tōgane is known for strawberry picking in February and March. Strawberries are grown in greenhouses. Because there is not much industry remaining in some rural areas of Japan like Tōgane, antique markets are gaining popularity as old farmhouses are torn down.
