Town of Ikata

Ikata Newsletter

Ikata publishes two monthly newsletters, "Kōhō Ikata" and "Fureai Ikata". They are available in Japanese only, but you can still get a feel for the vitality and spirit of Ikata by looking at the pictures.

The newsletters are in PDF format, for which you will need Adobe Reader or equivalent software. If you don't already have Adobe Reader installed, please download it from the Adobe website.

Current issues (2010-7):

• Kōhō Ikata (Japanese, PDF)
• Fureai Ikata (Japanese, PDF)

Back issues are also available.

English articles

As part of Ikata's ongoing efforts to promote cultural exchange, the newsletter features a monthly article about foreign language and culture, written by Ikata's CIR. Though it regularly appears in print and on the web in Japanese, these two articles were translated into English for inclusion in the inagural issue of the CIR Newsletter.
