[16th] We toured Kirigaoka Bazaar!

　On Friday, July 7, we toured Kirigaoka Bazaar while the summer sun shines brightly. .
　This bazaar is held once a month at the parking lot in front of Kirigaoka Post Office as a place for local people to interact and gather through shopping. .
　Local vegetables, freshly baked bread, handmade items, etc. are sold, and when the store opened at 11:00 am, many customers already gathered. Some of the staff and customers were from India who lived in Kirigaoka.
　This initiative has been adopted as a challenge course under the Midori Ward Regional Issues Challenge Proposal Project, which is supported by Midori Ward.
"It's the third year of the event, but it's completely established in the community. There are a lot of people who can come and enjoy it," says Tazawa, the representative. In December of last year, elementary school students from Kirigaoka Gakuen Elementary School opened a store as part of the class, providing an opportunity to interact with local people. .
　It is a place where a wide range of generations, from elementary school students to the elderly, gather, and I hope that it will continue as a multicultural exchange event in which people from India participate.
