Introduction of group activities

This is a local self-governing body located in the easternmost part of Kitakyushu, surrounded by the green of Mt. Suisho and its beautiful waterside, with the Sone Tidal Flat where the sun rises first in the city.
In response to changing community demographics, such as a declining birthrate and an aging population, the council was established to build a community network at the elementary school district level. It serves as a hub for welfare activities, volunteering, and lifelong learning, bringing different generations together to engage in environmental conservation.
