Today's Summary
By shining a light on Hokuryu Town as it is, we can empathize with each other's current charm and joy, and feel each other's joy as our own.
For us, disseminating information means "sharing joy."
Today, we see media coverage from around the world portraying Japan as a truly developed country, praising its "culture of compassion and harmony."
Hokuryu is a town that values harmony and cooperation, and I feel that it could be a model town for the world to come.
We would like to continue to spread the joy of Hokuryu Town to the world and continue to do our best to spread the word.
Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity today. I wish you all the best in your health.
We look forward to your continued support of Hokuryu Town Portal!
Thank you very much for today.
After the lecture, there was a break of about an hour. Everyone enjoyed the hot springs and chatted. Afterwards, there was a fun social gathering!
