[Message from Niseko Town Katayama]

The sympathetic community currency “NISEKO eumo”, which has been a dream for a long time, was born.
Takeo Arishima, a great writer of the Shirakaba school who had a vast land in Niseko Town,
It has been 100 years since the great achievement of "farm liberation" and the idea of "mutual aid" have been left to us townspeople.
Mutual aid is about creating a warm society where people respect and help each other.
The economy exists to enrich people's lives.
Our aim is to create an empathetic capital society that is friendly to people and nature, based on the principle of mutual aid.
"NISEKO eumo" is a bridge that connects many people who sympathize with Niseko's town development and the townspeople.
I will start now.
Please support your thoughts with "NISEKO eumo"!

Niseko Town Kenya Katayama
