Iwasa Ritsuko

Having left Kanagawa, where I had lived for a long time, I moved to Kurashiki in December 2023 as a Community Revitalization Cooperator.

The town of Kurashiki, which I had no connection to, is filled with new sights and encounters! I feel a sense of comfort in my daily life.

I want to convey the charm of Kurashiki while keeping the perspective of a newcomer in mind.
