About the 50th anniversary project of Konan Ward System

Konan Ward will celebrate its 50th anniversary in October 2019.
We plan and hold various events to celebrate the 50th anniversary together with the people of the ward and companies and organizations in the ward to foster local connections and further enhance the Konan Ward.

• The community, schools, businesses, related organizations, and the government work together to carry out the business and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the constituency together.
• We will develop our business based on what we have accumulated so far, such as local initiatives and the history of anniversary projects.

"Love full of love, to the hometown Konan."
We will expand the circle of "greeting", "support", "help", "mimoriai" and many "love (ai)" that we have nurtured so far, and connect it to the future.

Sunflower that blooms from love. Each petal is a person, and it becomes a circle around love and becomes a flower.
It expresses a heart that supports each other. ※Sunflower is a flower of the ward established to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Konan ward system.

The commemorative ceremony and commemorative event, which will be the main part of the 50th anniversary project, will be a place where you can connect to the future while thanking the "Furusato Konan" that you have built with the local community.

As the main event of the 50th anniversary project, festivals around Konan Chuo will be gathered!

We aim to create a bright and energetic Konan Ward by spreading the energetic and creative culture of children throughout the ward.

There are lots of tips for local activities! The event will be held as a finale event to conclude the 50th anniversary by introducing various initiatives such as disaster prevention and reduce disaster damage, watching and supporting each other.

We are looking for letters written by elementary and junior high school students in the city for their future self. We will keep it in a safe place and deliver it in 10 years.

From October, when Konan Ward was born, in conjunction with the commemorative ceremony held on November 2, the city's flower "Himawari" will bloom in autumn to excite the 50th anniversary of the constituency system. We will distribute sunflower seeds and carry out stamp rally.

This is a tour in August 2019 for children in Konan Ward to visit port facilities, which are closely related to Yokohama.

We look back on the history of ward and tell about 50 years with inhabitants of a ward who walked with ward and make as one book to connect thought to the future.

Based on the concept of "Love hometown Konan", we will create a stamp that "I want, I'm glad to get it, and fun to use."
It is scheduled to be released in November 2019.

Created as a “smile album” reflecting on the 50th anniversary commemorative project and is scheduled to be published in June 2020.
Currently, we are looking for photos of smiles at the initiatives and events of local people celebrating the anniversary project.
