This is an announcement for a presentation by the UTokyo Mikan Club, which has been active in Reihoku Town this fiscal year under the Furusato Mirai College project that brings universities and local communities together to solve regional issues, to be held on Friday, March 27.

Students from the UTokyo Mikan Club, Japan’s first student group specializing in mikan (Japanese mandarin oranges), spent about a year visiting mikan farms in Reihoku Town and conducting repeated fieldwork.
Once one of the prefecture’s leading mikan-producing areas, Reihoku Town now faces challenges such as a shortage of successors.
From their distinctive perspective as young outsiders, the students will present what they observed in the field and what actions they took—such as prototyping new packaging and holding mikan learning sessions—and share the results of those efforts.
On the day of the event, the students will also lead a fun mikan learning session to share knowledge and the appeal of mikan with attendees. Please feel free to join us.

Date and Time: Friday, March 27, 2026, from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM
Venue: Shiki Community Hall Town Hall (444-1 Shiki, Reihoku Town)
Admission: Free
Presenters: University students belonging to the UTokyo Mikan Club

For inquiries, please contact the Administrative Reform and Digital Measures Office, General Affairs Division, Reihoku Town Hall.
We sincerely look forward to your attendance!
