Born and raised in Saitama Prefecture, I am currently active as a member of the Saitama Hometown Support Team and also work mainly on international flights.
Her hobbies are traveling to hot springs and doing hot yoga to stay healthy. Before COVID-19, she would sometimes enjoy visiting museums and tourist spots overseas.

The Charm of Saitama Prefecture

Saitama Prefecture has produced many great people, including Eiichi Shibusawa and Japan's first female doctor, Ginko Ogino.
Saitama, rich in nature, is also home to Tokorozawa Aviation Memorial Park. In addition, Kazo City holds a large carp streamer event with a total length of 100m every May, and Kasukabe City built the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel, which is said to be a modern Greek temple, 50m underground. The area of the underground discharge channel is the largest in Japan, and it can be visited.

The local souvenirs chosen by the Saitama Prefecture Hometown Support Team are...
"Fig Yokan"

The long-established Japanese confectionery shop, "Miyoshi," makes a wide variety of Japanese sweets using locally grown figs.
Among them, the Fig Yokan, made by arranging sweetly boiled figs on top of soft red bean yokan and then pouring wine jelly on top and letting it harden, is a beautiful and stylish Japanese sweet that is loved by people of all ages. I have been there many times.

Available for purchase at Ichijiku Kaan Miyoshi (Kasuka City, Saitama Prefecture)

Eiichi Shibusawa will be the "face" of the new 10,000 yen banknote to be issued from 2024, and will also be the protagonist of the NHK historical drama "Seiten wo Tsuke" to be broadcast from February 2021. He is famous for being the foundation of Japan's financial and economic world, but there is also a side to him that is less known. However, by following his achievements and path, you can experience the history of modern Japan and the Japanese culture that has been passed down to the present day.
