Mr. and Mrs. Akishino had an online discussion with the young people of the regional revitalization cooperation team working in the area where they moved to.
On the afternoon of the 17th, Mr. and Mrs. Akishino had an online discussion with about 10 members of the regional revitalization cooperation team, which are active in Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture and Shimanto Town, Kochi Prefecture, at the site where they live.
The regional revitalization cooperation team is a system in which people who have migrated from urban areas are commissioned by the local government to work on regional revitalization such as tourism promotion.
When Mr. and Mrs. Akishino were told by the members working in Kesennuma City that they were making point cards to promote tourism, they were asked, "How did you recruit members?"
The discussion lasted for about an hour and a half, and at the end, Mr. Akishinomiya said, "It's a difficult situation, but I would like you to pay attention to your health and play an active role," keeping in mind that the effects of the new coronavirus are continuing. It means that they were encouraged.
