Reports on Japan: Kagawa Press Tour “Island Challenges”

post date : 2014.12.16

This press tour was jointly planned and sponsored by the FPCJ and Kagawa Prefecture, and had 10 journalists participate from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Germany, Italy and the USA. Despite the population in rural areas declining, there are islands in the Seto Inland Sea with increasing numbers of new young residents and visitors. This press tour visited Shodoshima, where employment opportunities for youth are being created through production of local specialties with high added value, and Teshima, where the beauty of the island is demonstrated through art while the issue of illegally dumped industrial waste is also dealt with.
