This exchange (opinion exchange meeting) between Shimokawa Town and Hokuryu Town was made possible through the introduction of Seki Yu (34 years old, currently working in the Corporate Planning Department at Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), a junior colleague of Terauchi Noboru (former head of the Corporate Planning Group at the Nippon Foundation, also working for an NPO), who was formerly vice-chairman of the NPO CANPAN Center (Tokyo).<\/p>\n

Shimokawa Town is an "Environmental Future City" (population approximately 3,200), with 90% of its area surrounded by forests, and was one of the first towns to establish circular forest management.<\/p>\n
