The period is from 11 June to 5 September 2021.

[Project background]
The aim of the host town is to have long-lasting exchanges in many fields such as sports, culture and economy on the occasion of the Tokyo Games, but there have been a number of cancellations of exchanges due to the COVID-19. We wanted to do something in this context, which is why we started this project.
