2015 Research begins

December, 2015 Regional Workshop

In collaboration with local residents, a workshop on regional social ties and happiness is conducted.

We were also allowed to participate in local events and to interact with the local people.

The Tsuneyoshi Hyakkaten Store

The second regional base for the project is the Tsuneyoshi Hyakkaten Store, which acts as a hub for locals to build bonds with each other.
It stocks local seasonal produce, handmade preserved foods and other unique items that cannot be found elsewhere, and is a place where many people – from children to the elderly – gather.

Activity Monitors are brought to Omiya Town in Kyotango City and observational research on activity levels and regional social ties, research at local bases and paper questionnaire research is conducted.

In cooperation with The Omiya Minami Satojikara Revitalization Committee
