Activity Period: April 2025 - March 2026
Activity Area: Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture
Activity Details: We aim to restore the Sotobori River to its original state through cleanup activities that incorporate various creative methods to combat the environmental degradation caused by a large influx of trash.

Activity Period: April 2017 - March 2018
Activity Area: Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture
Activity Details: The Sotobori River has a rich history and a picturesque charm. It was designated as a Class B river in 1974 after being planned as a canal park, and efforts were made to remove sludge. However, since then, no major conservation work has been done, and the environment has severely deteriorated due to frequent littering and illegal dumping, becoming a major problem for both citizens and the government. This project aims to tackle this issue head-on and restore the river to its original charming and relaxing state.
