A Visit to the Tokaimura City and School Leaders

This morning we ate breakfast at the hotel and then traveled to the Tokai town government building. (The town is really Tokai-the mura on the end refers to the word village, so when you say Tokaimura, you are really saying Tokai Village.) The mayor, deputy mayor, superintendent of schools, and many other important local government officials were present to welcome us to Tokai and to speak to us for the next few hours. We had addresses from each person in which we heard about their community and schools. One interesting thing about Tokaimura is that they are sister cities with Idaho Falls, Idaho. The picture I attached below is of the banner in the lobby of the government building.
