Other [Appointment] Member of the Dazaifu City Comprehensive Strategy Promotion Committee I have been appointed to the Dazaifu City Comprehensive Strategy Promotion Committee.
Until now, due to time constraints, I had generally turned down work outside the Tokyo area. However, since I can now participate online from anywhere—and, although this may seem contradictory, I’ve started living in multiple locations and plan to visit various places—I’ve decided to accept this assignment.
Today, I shared my thoughts and asked questions about Education DX, Urban DX, and Local Government DX. I really want to go to Dazaifu!
