Comment from Miku Okanishi
I am deeply honored to receive the President's Award in the Individual Category of the Student Poster Session at the 24th National Conference of the Japan Association of Regional Policy.
This research was made possible thanks to the guesthouse operators at 11 locations nationwide who cooperated with interviews, the advice and support of many people including Professor Takashi Iba, who always provides kind guidance. I would also like to express my deep gratitude to those who work with me in the field of practice.
I will continue to devote myself to contributing to the creation of places that connect regions and people through my research activities.
