Congratulations to our newly elected Mayor of Matsumoto – Mr. Yoshinao Gaun. 
Mr. Gaun and his team worked hard for 4 years to build a “bottom-up” campaign that puts the needs and future wellbeing of the citizens of Matsumoto (including Norikura Kogen & the rest of the Azumi area) in on the conversation about where we should be heading as a city and how to get there.
