In recent years, the terms, such as depopulation, aging society and financial difficulty of local govenrment have been widely heard through various media. They are becoming common social issues in Japan and other countries. Today, Ms. Satoru Nishide, from Odai town office, Mie Prefecture provided us an interesting introduction of the real situation of Odai town through various perspectives. He drew a big picture for us to consider how to make a sustianable development in the rural areas of Japan. Also, he left us some hints for us to make our research plan. Thank you very much for Mr. Nishide’s interesting presentation and helpful answers to our questions. Look forward to seeing you in Odai Town in September.
