[Coimhead air a’ bhidio]Also pay attention to the “extraordinary promises”… Nagoya mayoral election to be counted on November 24 As the Kawamura municipal administration issue becomes a point of contention, what promises did each candidate make?

Mr. Ichiro Hirosawa:
“I was wondering if I could hold a koala. This is just a promise to take the challenge.”

Koalas first came to Japan 40 years ago and are still popular at Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Garden, but of course you can’t touch them.

Visitors:
“If I could keep my child, I would buy an annual pass. I want to keep my child together.”

Another visitor:
“I think it’s better emotionally to be able to interact with animals, but I think it’s too strict to protect the animals.”

There is also a promise to increase the number of Komodo dragons that arrived this year and allow them to breed. Although the obstacles to achieving this seem high, Hirosawa says, “I want to give children dreams.”

Mr. Ichiro Hirosawa:
“After 40 years, Higashiyama has become so established that koalas are synonymous with it, so we thought we could do something a step forward. It’s a dream for children, so we thought we should accept the challenge.”

■ Kohei Otsuka’s “Nagoya Three Major Tours”.

One of the promises made by Kohei Otsuka (65), a former member of the House of Councilors who loves history, is the “Nagoya Three Major Tour”, which consists of three elements: “history”, “art/industry”, and “coexistence”.

Mr. Kohei Otsuka:
“I have a lot of fantasies floating in my head about tours that include historical, cultural and industrial tourist spots.”

Nagoya is said to be very attractive as a tourist destination, and in addition to history and business such as Nagoya Castle and the Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology, Mr. Otsuka also focuses on new culture such as Cosplay Summit as one another. column We also have high hopes for an increase in inbound tourism.

Mr. Kohei Otsuka:
“If Hisaya Odori Park becomes Dragon Ball Street, for example, and there are monuments standing there for a long time, everyone takes pictures of them all. I would like to try a creative tourism policy from the Nagoya city side I am here”

A new photogenic spot may be born in the city of Nagoya.

■ Keiko Ogata is taking measures against “Nagoya Skip” etc.

Keiko Ogata (67), the only female candidate, wants “side effects of heat” such as increasing the number of trees on the streets and protecting the classrooms.

In addition, we promote “Citizens’ Culture Day,” in which zoos and botanical gardens, aquariums, museums and other facilities are open to the public free of charge on the first Sunday of each month.

Keiko Ogata:
“I would like to see something a little more complex, like a ‘Monthly Culture Day.’ I think it would be good if it was an opportunity for people to go out regularly. There are very few cultural policies, or rather, although there are real economic policies, cultural policies. I thought something a little worse would be better.”

Mr. Ogata has also promised to build a hall with a seating capacity of 1,000, calling it an “artists’ leap” to Nagoya.
