July 15: The 25th Yufuin Music Festival staff meeting
  by Mie
The 25th Yufuin Music Festival is coming in two weeks. Today, we had a kick-off meeting for the volunteer staff at Kitayama Japanese restaurant on Hananoki Street in Yufuin. Mr. Masakuni Kato, the general secretariat of the festival, made a few words and proposed a toast.
   

Many tasty dishes make the members' mouth watering, such as beef stew, fresh bonito with its skin scorched, Chinese-style salad of octopus and bean sprouts, sushi of sea eel, and many other unusual foods.
Before long, people flock here and there enjoying pleasant chatting that combine the hearts of the staff toward the festival.
Some new staffs were introduced. On the left is Miss Sumitani from Ishikawa prefecture. She wanted to learn how to boost a community and now working as a member of Yufuin Sightseeing Office. "I have been longing for the community of Yufuin. I would be very happy if I could learn something from my stay in this wonderful town" she said.
In this corner, some staffs who have been working for a long time look back the history of the festival that has continued as much as 25 years. One of the old staffs showed an old program 17 years ago. I hope from my deepest heart that the festival will be wonderful one as usual.
