A newsletter about the ILC and the Tohoku region
With the Kitakami Times, local governments and foreign residents will bring you articles about ILC awareness events, interviews with local officials, initiatives to “internationalize” the area, and much more. Above all, we’d like to bring researchers and the general public alike a clearer picture of the Tohoku region of Japan. What will it be like to live in the mountains of Japan? How will the ILC integrate with the local area? What are people doing at the most local level to welcome to project?We hope to answer those questions and more with The Kitakami Times.
