Hokuryu Town in Kita Sorachi, Hokkaido, is a town of approximately 1,600 residents who cherish the idea that "food is life" and provide safe and secure food.
The Hokuryu Town Portal is celebrating its 15th year since it was first run by a husband and wife team. It is a site that uses text, photos and videos to convey the emotions felt by the people of Hokuryu who encounter the "spirit of harmony, compassion and joy" that they hold dear in their daily lives. The goal is to spread the circle of "empathy for joy" to people all over the world. (January 7, 2025)
