[Year-end Greetings] I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the warm connections we have made this past year. I hope that we will be bound by unchanging bonds in the new year.

There are only a few days left until 2025.
Outside the window, snow is falling steadily, and Hokuryu Town is enveloped in a quiet, beautiful world of silvery white.

"The spirit of harmony" and "the spirit of compassion"。

We are truly grateful that we have been able to once again this year to communicate through our articles the universal themes that Hokuryu Town has always held dear, and that we have been given the role of delivering this story to the world.

During all of our reporting activities, we were warmly welcomed by the farmers, the children who responded with smiles, and all the townspeople who make Hokuryu Town's treasures shine in their daily lives.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the many people who have helped us and given us kind words.

In 2026, we will continue to accompany your stories with the same "spirit of harmony" in our hearts. We look forward to your continued support in the coming year.
I hope that the coming year will be a wonderful one filled with smiles and happiness for all of you.
