A photo shoot was held at Nou Station in Itoigawa City by Echigo Tokimeki Railway. As if President Torizuka’s wishes expressed on his blog had been heard, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom and the sky was a clear blue, making for a perfect day for the photo shoot. Before the shoot, the president himself explained the shooting guidelines, and in a friendly atmosphere, some wonderful and memorable quotes were uttered (lol). President Torizuka is the best! *Permission for photography and posting has been granted.
