We are humbled and honored to report a significant recognition bestowed upon our continuous efforts to promote the culture of our hometown.
Recognition for “Kawagoe Style”
At the general meeting of the Saitama Prefectural Products and Tourism Association, Chosho Yabe was awarded the “Special Distinguished Service Award.”
This prestigious award is presented to individuals or groups who have made remarkable contributions to the promotion of Saitama’s products and tourism. It serves as a commendation for the long-standing activities of the “Kawagoe Style Club,” a group dedicated to sharing the charm of Kawagoe with the world.
Ten Years of Grassroots Diplomacy
For over a decade, the Kawagoe Style Club has been a driving force in regional revitalization.
- Global Reach: Promoting the food and culture of Saitama and Kawagoe internationally.
- Local Roots: Conducting monthly study groups to deepen our own understanding of our heritage.
While Kawagoe is now recognized as a premier tourist destination, this success is built upon the accumulation of steady, quiet efforts by local merchants and residents. We are deeply grateful to Representative Hibiki, President Yuge, and all members for allowing us to contribute through the art of Shodo. We renew our commitment to serving the “Land of Color” Saitama and “Little Edo” Kawagoe.
