Amidst this excitement, the Hokuryu Town booth (Partner\/Sponsor Area H-96 to H-101) became a place of healing and discovery, delivering the brightness of sunflowers and the warmth of the northern land.<\/p>\n

"Something you can only find here" shines! The power of Hokuryu Town's creators<\/h3>\n

This year's exhibitors were creators that Hokuryu Town is proud of (TokaDin, Tsumugi, Shizenka, Hokuryu Town PR, Local Resources PR). Countless works were lined up in the large venue, but the Hokuryu Town booth had a unique personality that you won't find anywhere else.<\/p>\n
