2019 1st Kamoi Station Area Town Development Study Group

The Kamoi Station Area Community Development Study Group (commonly known as Machiken), which celebrated its 20th anniversary this year, provides a place where people thinking about regional debuts can play an active part in the area of interest. Focusing on the area around Kamoi Station on the JR Yokohama Line, we contribute to community development through historical walks, beautification of the park, cleaning Kamoi Station and Kamoike Ohashi, and holding Kamoi Station concerts (commonly known as Ekicon). The next excon will be held at Kamoi Station Concourse from 13:00 on Sunday, December 15th. This is the 50th time in total, and there will be performances of Latin and Christmas songs by big bands.

Please come and visit us.

From the members of the town research, "I wanted to know more about the town where I live. I think that gathering and having fun together will lead to health." "I clean the station every Sunday and do snow removal work in winter. I would like to continue working with Public Works Office to clean up the city of Kamoi."
According to the founding member Kano, "At the beginning, the charm around Kamoi Station was difficult to understand. Therefore, we started activities by creating an attractive map incorporating friendly illustrations. Today, the area of activity has expanded, and the number of members has increased to 78. What we need to continue our activities is to have fun. It will benefit people and connect for the community and for the future. Nothing is fun, it won't last. I would like to incorporate the parts that contribute to society. "
Mr. Hoya, the representative, said, "I want to make more women join and play an active part in the future. I think generational change is also an issue," he said his future aspirations.

I think there are many people who feel confused about their regional debut. At the Machiken, through the activities of the “life laughter (Jinseirakusho) / Next-Generation School”, which introduces various local activities according to the area of interest of the person while participating in the event. I think it is wonderful that you are working on lowering it. At the ward office, we want to think about local debut of inhabitants of a ward together with facilities such as "Midorimu".
We hope that the activities of the town research institute will serve as a model in each region and will lead to the spread of local attractions and make the entire Midori Ward attractive and enjoyable.
