[46th] Participated in the Midori Ward Winter Youth Soccer Tournament, the Kamoi Welfare Festival and the Nakayama Festival.

From 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 3rd, we visited the opening ceremony of the 2022 Midori Ward Winter Youth Soccer Tournament held at Hassakaya Park Multipurpose Plaza. The day was blessed with wonderful sunny weather, and cheerful boys and girls gathered early in the morning.

This month, the FIFA World Cup Qatar Games will finally begin. Children will be a good opportunity to see the excellent play of players from all over the world, including the Japan National Team, greatly expand their dreams for the future, and aim to grow each. .

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the efforts of the Midori Ward Youth Soccer Federation (Chairman: Tomo Hashimoto) and other people involved in this event.

At 10 a.m., I visited the Kamoi Welfare Festival held at Kamoi Elementary School.

This year's 22nd Kamoi Welfare Festival will be held at Kamoi Elementary School for the first time in three years.

The Japan National Council of Social Welfare, the Allied Neighborhood Association, and other related organizations, thank you very much for your attention to the planning and preparation of infectious diseases.

It was very impressive that everyone who participated went around each booth happily, and that each booth spoke kindly and politely with a smile. .
I also enjoyed talking with everyone at each booth, and I was very energetic.

After the Kamoi Welfare Festival, we participated in the Nakayama Festival held at the Nakayama Shopping Street.

This was also held for the first time in three years, and it was crowded with very many people due to wagon sales by shopping mall member stores, station square stages, mini electric bus ride experience, etc. The visitors seemed to be looking forward to this day, and some places were full of smiles and fun voices.

We pay tribute to the efforts of the people involved in the event, including the Nakayama Shopping Street Cooperative, and hope that such events will be gradually resumed and that regional bonds will be further deepened. .
