PR TIMESGreetings from the representative, Takuo Suzuki
PR TIMESThrough my interactions with people in various fields such as universities, agriculture, welfare, and after-school childcare, I have nurtured a desire to create a place in Iwate where everyone can participate.
Overlapping with that sentiment is the horse culture of Iwate, where people and horses have supported each other.
I feel that the equestrian culture of Iwate is imbued with relationships where people and the region have roles and have lived while interacting with each other.
Along with my gratitude to everyone involved, using the challenge of UNIZONE as an opportunity, I will expand the environment where children and local peers can feel that there is a role for me here and involve themselves.
