General Incorporated Association Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) [Local] [JAF Nara] “Things you want to know about Shimokitayama Village -Discover the charm! Exchange meeting-”
The second project born from the voices of JAF members!
The Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) Nara Branch (branch manager Osamu Kikuchi) has established a tourism agreement with Shimokitayama Village, Nara Prefecture, in order to promote tourism in the branch (Horen Town, Nara City). On February 11th (Sat/holiday), we will hold an event titled “Things you want to know about Shimokitayama Village – Discover the charms! Exchange meeting”.
Last September, the Nara Branch held the JAF Festival Auto Camp Festa in Shimokitayama Village, an event for members to get to know each other at the Shimokitayama Sports Park Campsite (Shimokitayama Village, Nara Prefecture).
At that time, participants said, “I’m interested in Shimokitayama Village in winter as well as in summer, but I’m worried about the road conditions.”
Therefore, this time, we will hold a workshop participatory event “What you want to know about Shimokitayama Village-Discover the charm! Exchange meeting-” so that you can feel Shimokitayama Village in winter more closely.
There will also be workshops using deerskin, sales of special products, advice on installing tire chains from JAF instructors, issuance of children’s safety licenses that can be learned by taking a quiz on traffic rules, and a fun lottery.
[Overview]
Date: February 11 (Saturday/holiday) 10:00-12:00/14:00-16:00 Venue: JAF Nara Branch (383 Horencho, Nara City)
