Calling for Kudoshima self-restraint with words of gratitude University student from Amami Oshima May 1 21:39
We are sympathizing with the post, "Thank you for protecting the southern islands" on SNS, after the big holidays. This is a call for self-restraint that a university student in the Kanto region, from Amami Oshima, Kagoshima prefecture, dared to protect the island with his hometown.
On the 25th of last month, I was invited to post all at once on Twitter, saying, "Thank you for protecting the South Island."
In Kagoshima Prefecture, many local governments on remote islands, whose medical system is vulnerable, strongly indicate that they do not want to come, and the residents are also worried about this. I had them reconsider the visit.
The number of posts exceeded the target of 2000, and more than 20,000 were posted on the day.
Some of them are beautiful pictures of the southern islands, such as "I'm looking forward to a little patience and a day when I can go again" and "A tourist destination for you is a home for someone. I want everyone to know that it is a place to protect". There was also a post with my thoughts attached.
This post was started by Raku Ono and Anzu Tanaka, university students from Amami City, Kagoshima Prefecture, who live in the Kanto region.
While the infection with the new coronavirus has been confirmed in Amami Oshima and other places, he thought that he could protect his hometown even if he left the island.
Mr. Tanaka said, “I was happy to know that many people thought about the island, and I felt the strength of the connections among the people on the island.”
Also, Mr. Ono said, "There are conflicts that our activities may have caused tourists to suffer, so I would like to do activities so that many people will come to Amami when they are finished." I was talking.
