This fiscal year, Kobayashi City held the “Regional Japanese Language Class KIZUNA” and the “Kobayashi City Regional Japanese Language Education Forum” to work on regional Japanese language education.

The theme of the “Kobayashi City Regional Japanese Language Education Forum” was “regional Japanese classes where KIZUNA (bonds) are formed,” and many people shared their thoughts from their respective positions, including supporters, Japanese teachers, and coordinators involved in the classes.

In addition to this, Kobayashi City also conducts employee training and local Japanese language education supporter training courses.
