I am now in Kita-Kyushu City, about 2 hour flight time south of Tokyo. It is a model of Eco-town transforming from the heavily polluted industries. It is now becoming the front runner in showing recycling industries, basically all type of used products are recycled for new resources and material for other types of industries.

This picture was taken at the lobby of the City Council office while waiting for briefing to start. The lobby is full of display panels exhibiting the history, places of interest, unique crafts and tradition and many more that will make you felt not to miss any one of them. Well, of course apart from time availability, it is costly to cover everything. I have to make a choice. Since environmental protection and innovation is so highly talked about here, the environmental museum, the Eco-town service centre and the parks should not be the places to give a miss, I hope.
