After the reception!

by Kazu

After the Hokkaido reception to promote the products and produces of Hokkaido in the official residence of the Consul General of Japan, we went to Japanese style bistro "Izakaya  Takonoki" with the staff members of JTB, HTB that contributed to establishing a sister-state affiliation with Hawaii.

Everybody was convinced that the base of the sister-state relationship was developed and it was stable. I think everybody was so satisfied with the result of the reception and our visit to Honolulu.

To be honest, some of the delegation members of Hokkaido had to join the third party thrown by the Vice Governor Mr. Yoshihiro YAMAYA at that time but I could get up early in the morning and enjoy jogging along the beach as I usually do.
