At the JR Omiya Station in Saitama City, a tug-of-war competition was held by residents from the east and west exits across the station to deepen the connection to revitalize the region.

This tug-of-war competition has been held for two years by an executive committee that is made up of commercial facilities around the station.

The game was held at the east-west access passage at Omiya Station, and approximately 60 people participated, including store owners and employees at the east and west exits, as well as local residents. The match began with the station chief's signal, and the participants drew out the ropes while talking to "OS, OS".

The man of the representative of the winning West Exit team said, “I am very happy. Omiya is a hub of transportation and is a hot city, so I want to focus on revitalizing the area around the station.”

On the other hand, the representative man of the East Exit Team said, “The result was disappointing, but it was interesting.
