My PageAbout the 'New Hokkaido Style' Initiatives
What is the New Hokkaido Style?
The fight against COVID-19 continues.
Therefore, we must work together and follow the government's "New Lifestyle" guidelines, and change our lifestyle and way of doing business within Hokkaido. Through gathering all the knowledge of those people related to Hokkaido, making the various initiatives visible, and working together as residents and business owners and operators, we can lower the risk of infection across the region.
By doing so, we can continue our business operations, but also expand our business opportunities.
The New Hokkaido Style is the way to realize this goal.
So, let's bring our hearts together and step into a new stage of Hokkaido, existing in a world rife with COVID-19.
