Shikemichi refers to the Shikemichi area of Nagoya City, which suffered relatively little damage during the war, and even today many storehouses and traditional buildings remain, indicating that it was once a castle town and a merchant district. Along Ofunamachi-dori, storehouses once stood on the east side of the street, and townhouses on the west side. These were storehouses and merchant residences used for commercial activities that took advantage of the water transport on the Horikawa River, and both the land and buildings were extensive.
Along Shikemichi, a stone wall about one meter high was built on the east side of the street, and many storehouses are still lined up on top of it. The continuous black hon-gawara tiles, white plaster walls, and stone walls are a typical sight of the Shikemichi area. In the area west of Shikemichi, one-story, two-storey, and two-storey tenement houses line both sides of an alley two to three meters wide, retaining a traditional downtown atmosphere that is rare in the city center.

An interview with the Japan Broadcasting Association revealed the following plans by the Government of Japan.
The Japanese government has decided to provide a new scholarship of more than 110,000 yen a month for international students evacuating from Ukraine to Japan due to the military invasion by Russia. The government is planning to start recruiting about 100 people soon.
The recipients of the scholarship are Ukrainian students who entered Japan after the military invasion in February and Ukrainian students who are planning to study abroad. The Government of Japan plans to start providing support to those who are currently enrolled in the university or who have been recommended by the Japanese embassy.
The content of this study abroad system is that a monthly scholarship of 117,000 yen will be provided, and the actual expenses will be paid when traveling from now on, and the entrance fee and tuition fee will be borne by the government or the university. The period is one year.
This support is provided using the government-sponsored international student system to develop human resources involved in the education and research of Japanese language and culture.
Although the examination is conducted by an interview test, Japanese language ability and knowledge of specialized fields are not required so much. The Japanese government is expected to start recruiting about 100 people soon, and to start supporting it in July at the earliest.

The genius of illusion magic that Aichi is proud to present to the world! We covered the magic show by DAIKI.
Large-scale illusion magic shows that attract a lot of people have almost stopped since last year due to the box office restrictions imposed by COVID-19.
To solve this problem, Mr. Daiki Tanaka of Magic Off Illusion, a.k.a. [DAIKI], developed “Drive-in Illusion Magic” where people can watch the show while riding in their cars.
The studio, built in a converted warehouse, allows guests to watch the show on stage while riding in a car.
This way, you can watch the illusion magic with a lower risk of infection. Of course, you are also free to get out of the car and relax on the couch to watch the show.
On this day, two families with eight guests, including small children, got out of the car and relaxed on the sofa and carpet to watch the show.
The advantage of watching up close is that the guests can participate and experience the card magic.
The children’s eyes were glued to the illusions as they unfolded one after another right in front of them. Not only that, but the children can also participate in the illusions on stage.
When the children of the 3 and 6-year-old guests approached the round table, to their surprise, the table floated in the air. Their eyes lit up as they saw the table wandering in the air right in front of them.
Not only that, but when a six-year-old girl lay down on the stage, was covered with a sheet, and was encouraged by the illusionist, she floated softly in the air.
He asked her, “How did you feel when you were floating? She replied, “I didn’t know.
The guests seemed to lose themselves in a series of breathtaking illusions, such as the situation they had imagined in their minds being written on a piece of paper and coming out of a treasure chest, and the cast in the box disappearing in the fire.
There is no doubt that the large-scale illusions that DAIKI specializes in on a larger stage are tourism content that can be used by people around the world.
The Aichi Inbound Association will continue to support DAIKI as a centerpiece of inbound content.
The English department at Okazaki Junior High School affiliated with Aichi University of Education is conducting a project class on the theme of “How can we attract inbound tourists from overseas to Aichi?
This theme is the same one that the Aichi Inbound Association has been working on for some time.
We observed the students’ efforts to prepare presentations for foreigners.
The students are divided into several teams, and each team decides on a sub-theme, such as Aichi’s food, history, nature, and culture, and discusses the content of their presentation.
We were able to advise some of the teams on the experience of the project by the association to attract visitors.
We gave a presentation similar to the one we gave at the U.S. exhibition, introducing the theme and activities of our association.
We also introduced the Japanese Food Expo to be held in Los Angeles next January and the Los Angeles Travel and Adventure Show to be held next March.
We hope that through this visit, the students will further develop their English skills interested in attracting inbound tourists, and I hope to utilize the results of this project class in the association’s activities.
The Aichi Inbound Association offered a rice planting experience in Tobishima Village, Aichi Prefecture.
The farmland that was planted during this work was planted with seedlings of a type of rice for sake called “Yume Ginga”.
“Yume Ginga” is a new variety of sake rice developed jointly by the Aichi Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station and the Aichi Prefectural Food Industry Research Center, and is expected to contribute to the production of high-grade sake in Aichi Prefecture.
This time, the rice planting was done as part of the sake brewing process, which is connected to a series of processes: weeding this summer, harvesting the rice in the fall, brewing sake in the winter, and pressing the sake the following spring.
The rice production is done by Agri Support Ltd. and the sake brewing is done by Mizutani Shuzo Co.
Mr. Tatematsu, the managing director of Agri Support, talked about rice production and distribution, and Mr. Mizutani, the president of Mizutani Sake Brewery, talked about the current situation of sake production.
In a light rain, the participants were knee-deep in water as they planted seedlings at 30cm intervals, following the instructions given by Mr. Tatematsu.
When we looked back at the seedlings after planting, we realized how difficult it was to plant them as the rows were crooked and the spacing was uneven.
After the rice planting experience, participants will have a chance to ride on the latest model of fully automatic rice transplanter.
Even if you have never driven a rice-planting machine before, once you get behind the wheel of the automatic GPS-driven rice-planting machine, the machine will automatically correct its course and plant the rice in a straight and clean line.
At a time when healthy and delicious Japanese food and sake are attracting attention from all over the world, rice farming and sake brewing, as industries unique to Japan, are expected to make great progress in the future.
However, it is important to know through actual experience of rice farming and sake brewing that it requires a steady effort.
After the rice planting experience, the participants had a great conversation about the next summer’s rice growing process.
We very much look forward to meeting you at the next event.
Thank you.
“Hachiju-hachi-ya” is the 88th day from the beginning of spring in Japan.The date will be around May 1st every year.Tea harvested during this season is very tasty and has been valued for centuries.
Nishio City in Aichi Prefecture, which has an established reputation as a producer of high quality matcha green tea, offers to experience the tea picking workshop in Nishio during this season.
First, you will enter a green tea factory to see how tea leaves are ground on a stone mortar.You can also experience the actual grinding of tea leaves by turning a stone bowl by hand.
While being taught the basic manners of the tea ceremony, we enjoyed this year’s matcha green tea and Japanese sweets and had time to contemplate the tea.
After a few minutes of walking from the tea factory, we arrived at a tea field covered with black sheets.The reason for the sheeting is to prevent the tea from growing too fast in the sunlight and losing its original flavor.
Plucking bright green tea leaves under a sheet, surrounded by the scent of fresh tea.The tea picking workshop ends with a bag full of fresh tea as a souvenir.
We very much look forward to meeting you at the next event.
Thank you.
Ms.Khait Tana, from Mongolia, opened Mongolian Restaurant ‘Sato’ in April 2019. Then, due to COVID-19 calamity, sales plummeted. It was no longer possible to continue the business without developing a different business.
Therefore, she consulted our association.
” I have a network of Mongolians, so I can offer jobs to Mongolians. “
After consulting with us, she decided to start her own recruitment business. She decided to start her own recruitment business and, in order to obtain a loan for this, she decided to incorporate her personal business.
Therefore, together with an administrative scrivener, we prepared the documents for the registration of the company that allows us to start a job placement business.
We will work with the tax accountant to discuss the accounting aspects of keeping the business going and the financing. We then enter into an advisory contract with a tax accountant to provide financial support.
We also helped her to secure sales for her main business by using the restaurant in our association and by introducing customers to her restaurant.
One month after the consultation, the company registration was completed. The company name was changed from Goh, a privately owned Mongolian restaurant, to Goh Co. We immediately applied for a fee-charging employment agency license, which is necessary in order to provide job placement services. The application was not approved until two months later. In the meantime, she is learning how the job placement business works.
From Ms.Kite Tana
” Until now, I didn’t have the means to make any decisions on my own, and I had no one to consult.
However, by getting to know the people of the Aichi Inbound Association, I was able to understand how to run a business and how it works, which I had never known before. The reason I was able to move forward at such a rapid pace was because of the support of the professionals.
They came to the shop to encourage me, they used the shop as a group and they were there for me as a friend.
I would like to get my own business off the ground as soon as possible and become a friend who can do inbound business with me. ”
Kite Tana
