The 12 foothills of the prefecture, including the “Gamo Foothills” in our city, have been designated as a Japan Heritage Site as “towns where Satsuma samurai lived.”

The Japan Heritage Symposium, which was held in Gamou last year, will be held this year on Saturday, November 9th at the Cultural Center Large Hall in Chiran Peace Park❗️

After the symposium, there will be an event called "Chiran Tosai-ji" where the area around the samurai residences will be lit up with lanterns to create a fantastic nighttime atmosphere.

The second photo shows how to apply, so please join us!
