[New Year's Greetings] A powerful year filled with energy and passion: 2026, Year of the Horse

January 1st, 2026, Happy New Year!

This year is the year of the Hei-Hu (Year of the Horse), a year of earth-shaking passion and heaven-striking energy.

For Hokuryu Town, this year's powerful flame of Heigo represents the warm energy of the sun, like the sunflowers that take root in the soil of Hokuryu. It also represents the never-extinguishing light of the human heart, which supports people with smiles even in the harsh winter.

Let's use passion as our compass, "harmony" and "gratitude" as our wings, and run like a horse galloping across the plains like the wind!

When the small sparks in each person's heart come together, they will become a big sun (sunflower) that will illuminate the world.

In the new year of 2026, Hokuryu Town's journey to create the warmest "hope" in the world with passion and love begins from this very moment!!!
