| Self-Introduction | I left Kanagawa, where I had lived for a long time, and moved to Kurashiki as a member of the Community Revitalization Cooperation Team in December 2023. The town of Kurashiki, which I had no connection to, is full of new experiences 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. |
