Monday, July 8, 2024<\/p>\n

Mayor Yasuhiro Sasaki's July inspection of Hokuryu Town took place from 10:00 a.m. on Friday, July 5th.<\/p>\n

The group visited Hokuryu Town Yawara Nursery School, Shinryu Elementary School, and a farm in the Ryusei district. They had planned to visit Hokuryu Junior High School, but were unable to do so due to the principal's absence due to a Junior High School Athletic Federation-related event.<\/p>\n

Moving on to the Ryusei area, we inspected farmland that had been damaged by birds and animals.<\/p>\n

Hokuryu Town Yawara Nursery School<\/h2>\n

We visited Wa Nursery School, which was designed by world-renowned architect Kengo Kuma and opened in April 2020.<\/p>\n

Ryusei District Farm Inspection<\/h2>\n

The Ryusei area has a lot of abandoned farmland that has become difficult to manage due to the aging of farmers and a lack of successors. There are also many cases of deer damaging agricultural produce!<\/p>\n

These fields contain a lot of stones, and further studies will be conducted on how to regenerate the wasteland.
