[Ended] We are recruiting "regional revitalization cooperation team members" to help revitalize the Hakumine district of Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
We are looking for "regional revitalization cooperation team" to challenge village development with us. Shiramine is blessed with rich culture and nature, but the population is decreasing and the number of vacant houses is increasing. If things continue like this, it may become a village where people can no longer live even if they want to. Therefore, we are working with various companies and universities on a project to transform the entire village into a hotel. Would you like to challenge town development with us? For details, please see below. https://www.sagojo.link/jobs/1159 https://www.city.hakusan.lg.jp/.../mac.../1009710/index.html

Two Sunshine
Today is the last calm day of the year. As I crossed the bridge over Tedorigawa Dam, I saw two rays of sunlight. Snow will begin to fall from tomorrow afternoon, continuing until Tuesday. With the forecast calling for more than one meter of snow, a true Christmas cold wave will arrive. If you visit Shiramine, don't forget to bring warm clothing and boots (snow boots).
