"Tenkomori nowa" is a gathering place that can be used by anyone, regardless of the August generation.

　This month's “Research on People and Towns in Director General” introduces the activities of Tenkomorinowa, a local place in Matsumicho.
"Tenkomori nowa" is a gathering place that can be used by anyone of all ages, from children to the elderly. On the day I visited, my neighbors were playing in the garden, the elderly were making origami works, and the users and staff chatted. . There was also a happening where the play in the water was excited, the child fired a water gun to the room, and the staff was drenched, but the staff members who are in contact with a warm gaze while paying attention to the child Was impressive. The children were playing loudly, so I was worried that there were no complaints from my neighbors, but I was relieved that they were supported by those who understood the activities. .
　According to Mr. Kayama, the chief children's committee, the operator, he said that he values a sense of security like a parent's home that anyone can use at any time. . Neighbors sometimes bake bread and bring it. Due to the influence of COVID-19, the number of users has to be limited compared to before, such as by making reservations, but it has been resumed because it can be done gradually, and it is scheduled to split watermelon this summer.
　In the future, we would like to provide food distribution support and cafes, etc., and we are challenging the “Yokohama Citizens' Town Contracting Project” to renovate the 50-year-old detached house, which is a place for activities. The first contest has been passed with a full score evaluation and is proceeding to the second.
We are also active in accepting children with various circumstances, such as children who cannot go to school or children who do not have a place to stay due to family circumstances. Eventually, it seems that you are thinking about learning support and initiatives that allow elderly men to participate, and it is a place to stay in the area full of "Tenkomori" feelings.
