HomeThe 15th Annual Suwa Charity walk
Sunday, May 16th, 2004, 8:10 AM - 2:00 PM
Speaker: Yasuto Hirajima from Seiko Epson
The 15th Lake Suwa Charity Walk is a great opportunity to discover the environmental issues about Lake Suwa. The starting time is at 8.10 am with an introductory talk at 8.15 to explain the day's schedule. After this we have the choice of walking in two directions around the lake accompanied by Shinshu University researchers who will explain environmental issues in easy terms. We all meet up at Kamaguchi suimon (the water lock) at 11:30. A special forum starts at 12:00 in which we can enjoy an environmental talk by Mr. Hirajima from Seiko Epson. This talk is not deeply technical and is geared towards children. A quiz for the kids follows this talk and a prize will be given to the winner. This year's musical entertainment is provided by the Shiga Primary Shool Choir. The forum itself closes at 1.30 after which we catch a ferry back to Suwa at 2.00 pm.
Please bring your own lunch and pencils for the quiz.
Donations are welcome (to go to Suwa Kankyo Machi zukuri kondankai- the local Suwa-based environmental group).
This is a family-friendly day so bring the kids!
