This year, the Fumihama Fureai Festival was successfully held once again! 🎉Under a beautifully clear blue sky and warm, pleasant weather, we were blessed with a perfect day ☀️😊

The Fumihama Fureai Festival is an important opportunity for Fumihama children and members of the local community—including neighborhood associations—to come together and connect 🤝

With the hope that children will grow to love the town of Minami-Gyotoku even more, and that they will feel a strong connection with the community members who support their elementary school,the festival is organized by Fumihamakko Supporters, a group that brings together the school, families, and the local community 🎪💛

Holding a map filled with many booths, the children walked around with bright smiles, asking, “Where should we go next?”Adults watched over and supported them with happy hearts. Together, it became a day full of excitement and joy 😊🎉

Having evolved from the PTA into Fumihamakko Supporters, and now operating with a small group of dedicated volunteers, there are certain limitations—but we hope to continue in a way that feels sustainable and true to who we are.

Now, let us share scenes from the day, booth by booth 📸Please be sure to take a look together with your children ❗
