In February this year, the Hokuryu-cho Sunflower Tourism Association (Chairman Yukio Takada) published "Hokuryu-cho Sunflower Tourism Association, 50th Anniversary Magazine" (A4 size, 123 pages).

The book carefully describes the footsteps of people who have been involved in the "revitalization of the town centering on sunflowers" of Hokuryu Town.

The editorial committee (chaired by Masahito Fujii) played a central role in the compilation of this booklet. Among them, Mr. Hideyuki Minami, as the lead author, invested a great deal of effort and time with passionate feelings to compile this commemorative booklet that exudes the hearts of the townspeople. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to him.

The Hokuryu Portal deeply sympathizes with the "heart for the town" of all concerned, and we have received permission to digitize the book in the hope that as many people as possible will read it through the Internet.

In order to make the text searchable and multilingual, we have converted all pages to text over the course of more than a month, rather than posting them in PDF format. Although we have converted more than 100 pages using text conversion software and have checked every single word, there may still be some typographical errors and omissions. We would appreciate your understanding and forgiveness in such cases, and we would be happy to hear from you.

We pray that the desire to share in the "spirit of harmony and compassion" of the people of Hokuryu Town will spread to the whole world.
