For the implementation of CIRCULATION SAITAMA

Saitama City has a lot of residents because it has good access to the city center due to the railway network such as JR Keihin Tohoku Line and JR Saikyo Line, but the vertical line between Tokyo and Saitama tends to be emphasized, so it may be attractive to Saitama. And potential are overlooked, and there is not much awareness of lateral movement in Saitama city.
However, I think it would be nice to have a perspective of enjoying traveling around Saitama City, which has many leisure facilities, parks, and restaurants, by making full use of buses and bicycles.
I think that every region has a small "regional character" that is difficult to cover on TV and newspapers. However, it is obscured by a uniform perspective of mass media or Tokyo. And it is the people who live in the area who tend to internalize that perspective. That is why I think it is important now to create businesses, media, and projects that convey the diverse appeal of Saitama from the perspective of the people who live in Saitama.
Participants in this workshop vary from those who usually work outside Saitama City to students. Participants of each team gathered many times between their usual work and school, fighting, crying with regret, and mourning the appearance of unexpected collaborators, various dramas. Has become a character in.
In this way, people who belong to "different communities" that we usually do not meet have been working as a team. In the big stage of Saitama International Marathon 2020, the efforts of each citizen who is not an artist will shape the future Saitama by thinking about Saitama 10 or 20 years from now, regardless of immediate interests. must. We would be grateful if you could join us in our efforts.
