Words from the Editor-in-Chief

The Hokuryu-cho Sunflower Tourism Association (formerly the Hokuryu-cho Tourism Association) was established in 1972 and has been dedicated to the development of local tourism. Thanks to the support and cooperation of the town's residents and other concerned parties, we have been able to continue our progress to the present day. This commemorative publication is a look back at our 50-year history and a look forward to the future. In editing it, we were conscious of the following three points

• 50 years of history in plain language and in detail.
• Expressing gratitude to all those involved
• Express your commitment to the future

In compiling the commemorative journal, we collected materials (Hokuryu Town History Volumes 2 and 3, Hokuryu Town Agricultural Cooperative History, town public relations magazines, construction ledgers, council minutes, town budgets and accounts, past newspaper articles, etc.). 50 years of history is a long time, and some materials were lost, so it was insufficient to confirm some facts, but looking back at 50 years of history and thinking about the future prospects was a very valuable experience. However, it was a very valuable experience to look back on 50 years of history and to think about the future prospects. We hope that this commemorative journal will contribute to the further development of the Hokuryu-cho Sunflower Tourist Association.
