30-Year Timeline of Our History
[Shichigahama Kokusaimura - 30 Years of Progress]
2003-2011.2
As the "mouth" of the town
9 years of great strides
The summer arts festival 'Shichigahama Art Warriors' and the Golden Week international exchange event 'International Days' have become staples, and the image of Shichigahama as a town with an Kokusaimura has taken root both within and outside the town.
The Kokusaimura own musical company, NaNa5931, and a percussion ensemble, Groove7, were established, and a culture that originated in the Kokusaimura began to sprout.
