East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd.

NEXCO EAST Group will collaborate with the welfare facility users in Tsurugaoka City, Yamagata Prefecture on February 6 (Wednesday) at Yamagata Michikushi PA (In-bound line), in line with the three consecutive holidays from February 9 I made "Snow Lantern".

This has been carried out annually by our Tsuruoka Management Office since 2014, and Expressway and welfare work together to contribute to regional revitalization, which contributes to regional revitalization as an opportunity for people with disabilities to engage in activities. Happiness) Collaboration ”* is an initiative.

On the day of the event, together with the people at "Yuai Plaza Katsuruma, Tsuruoka City" and the "Inaho Works" NPO, a total of 33 people worked together to scoop snow that had been solidified into pillars about 2 meters high. I made 3 shaving lanterns. Instead of a candle, an orange glowing LED was lit, and a "traffic safety" and "safe frog" plate was placed in front of the lantern.
From the facility that produced it, I was able to say that it was difficult, but I made it with all my heart.

We hope that customers visiting Kushibiki PA will be able to heal the tiredness of their trip by watching the snow lanterns made with the people of the welfare facilities. The Group will continue to promote the “Takafuku Collaboration” initiative.
