30 views of Konan 1999 Memory of the Town

In June 1998, Konan Ward selected the 30 scenic views of Konan, and was decided in September.
In the fall of 1999, we photographed these 30 scenes and published a photo book "Keishin Denjo" commemorating the 30th anniversary of the enforcement of the constituency system.
(This photo book is out of print. I'm sorry, but I can't show you because there is no preservation.)
Now that more than 20 years have passed, what kind of place will you choose?
