Introduction of our approach towards the development of Utsunomiya city!
	Activities contributing to Utsunomiya city In terms of crime prevention, Sakata Shinbun Ten entered into a memorandum for developing a safe town with 3 police stations in Utsunomiya in July 2005. We have banded closely with the police to assist with crime deterrent in Utsunomiya
	Sponsor of a local soccer team Since I am familiar with soccer as I am the Chairman of Tochigi club youth league, and have the purpose of setting up an European sport club that both children and adults can join in, previously to that, I decided to encourage the Tochigi soccer club to open up to local sports.
	Sponsor of a professional golf player As he is a local nice guy and we used to play together in some local competitions before he became professional, I decided to support him.
