On the afternoon of Tuesday, June 11th, the second day of the "Phantom Kurosengoku Soybean Fair in Chi-Ka-Ho" (Kurosengoku Business Cooperative Association), which was held at Chi-Ka-Ho (Sapporo Ekimae-dori Underground Plaza), Mayor Sasaki Yasuhiro visited the Kurosengoku Soybean booth to offer encouragement.

On the same day, Mayor Sasaki Yasuhiro, Chairman of the Hokuryu Sunflower Tourism Association Takada Yukio (Chairman of the Kurosengoku Business Cooperative), and General Affairs Division Chief of Hokuryu Town Hall Nanba Hajime paid a courtesy visit to the Hokkaido Prefectural Government Office, bringing with them a poster for the 38th Hokuryu Sunflower Festival 2024 and Kurosengoku Natto & Kurosengoku Kinako Cream as souvenirs.

Unfortunately, Governor Naomichi Suzuki was away on a business trip that day, so we were unable to meet him, but we were able to meet with Hiroshi Kitakaze, head of the Governor's Secretariat, and thoroughly promote Hokuryu Town.

Afterwards, he visited the Agriculture Policy Department, Economic Affairs Department, etc., and handed out posters for the 38th Hokuryu Town Sunflower Festival 2024 to promote the event.
