The Lobbying to the central Government !

by Kazu

I make a point of having my favorite ramen noodle soup by Sora Ramen Bar in New Chitose International Airport before the flight I take to visit other places on this globe. 

We made a effective lobbying to the Representatives and Councilors of National Diet elected in Hokkaido.  

The lobbying was for the revitalization of the coalmine area in Hokkaido. Twice a year, we do such lobbying to the central government and Diet. This time, we visited one of the most powerful politicians from Hokkaido Mr. Muneo Suzuki who crossed the isle in the House of Councilors.

He said that Hokkaido is called "Yakkaido" which meant "Nuisance" sometimes because it demanded hectic amount of budget and support for the development and welfare of the island too much and unreasonably. But he is still a strong and powerful supporter for Hokkaido.
