The first half of 2023 has ended (Part 1) Resumption of local events

Opening of Satomatsuri (nagayamon Park)

　When passing through Futatsu Bridge Park after sunset, the sound of insects began to be heard.
　The long summer of this year, which could only be described as "hot summer," is about to change to autumn.
　Since the handling of COVID-19 infection was changed in May, various local events have resumed. Rather than resuming in the pre-COVID-19 way, I felt that it was an event that evolved in line with today's society by adding various ideas, such as dealing with infectious diseases and countermeasures against the extremely hot heat stroke.

Lantern of Tanabata Lantern Festival

　The local summer festival has also been revived.
　The Sato Festival / Tanabata Lantern Festival, which was held last year, was powered up and the weather was blessed on the day, so many people came.
　In addition, we held a summer festival for the first time in four years for many districts and shopping streets during the summer vacation of elementary and junior high school students. At each festival, there were many children dressed in summer clothes such as yukata, and it was impressive that they enjoyed visiting shops with their friends.
