Learning from the disaster area

Our first study tour was to Ishikawa Prefecture, which was severely damaged on New Year’s Day, with the intention of providing economic support through our visit.
We are still in the process of not only recovery, but even restoration,” said Mr. Yoshida, president of Hotel Kaga Hyakumangoku, which has hosted the largest number of disaster victims and is still accepting more. In terms of supporting hotels that have accepted disaster victims, we have prioritized such hotels as lodging destinations for company trips.

In other areas, such as Komatsu, Kaga, and Kanazawa, which are particularly popular with disaster victims, we had various hearings beforehand, and when we finally visited Wajima, we were still in a state of shock. To begin with, the roads still have large undulations and bumps, but I heard that they are still recovering a lot, and I saw a lot of people doing such work. I think it is really hard work. And then we ended up at the place in this picture. I am lost for words. Many of the houses that collapsed were still untouched due to rights and legal issues. This means that the news coverage of the event has been decreasing recently.

This was our company’s first company trip. About the earthquake, about support, about work, about living, about life. Perhaps more than any other training program, this was a trip where we thought about many things.
