Today's Summary

By shining a light on Hokuryu Town as it is, we can share with each other the charms and joys that exist today, and feel the joys of others as our own.

For us, information dissemination means "joyful empathy.

Nowadays, the world is seeing media broadcasts from various countries that Japan is a truly developed country. They are praising "a culture that practices compassion and harmony."

Hokuryu Town is a town that respects harmony and cooperation. I feel that this town is truly a model for the world in the future.

We will continue to spread the joyful sympathy of Hokuryu-cho throughout the world and continue to transmit it to the best of our ability.

Thank you very much for this opportunity to meet with you today.
I wish you all continued good health.

Thank you for your continued support of the Hokuryu Town Portal!
Thank you very much for your time today.
 

With thanks to the wonderful brilliance of the town of Hokuryu.
