"...Some time ago, I made my goals clear as to the direction the prefectural government should take in the Easy to Live in Yamanashi Plan and I am just in the starting stages of implementing this plan,

In this blueprint, I hope that a balance can be struck between the environment, health and welfare, education, culture, industry, infrastructure and other various areas so that we will also be able to proudly say that Yamanashi is The Environmental Capital of Japan..."
