On Sunday, May 18, 2025, the 48th Shiobara Onsen Yukemuri Marathon National Competition was held around Shiobara Elementary and Junior High School, running through the lush green streets of the Shiobara Onsen area. Although rain had been forecast, the day turned out to be perfect for a marathon, and participants enjoyed running at their own pace through the scenic hot spring town.
Thanks to the cooperation of the Shiobara Onsen Tourism Association and event organizers, the entire community came together to make the event a great success.
Our company proudly participated as a special sponsor for the third consecutive year, providing SEIKO sports clocks for the event. In addition, our employees volunteered to support the marathon by assisting at water stations, issuing completion certificates, and guiding runners along the course.
A total of 16 runners (including employees and their family members) and 6 volunteer staff members from our company took part in the event.

Cleaning activities (Shiobara Onsen Association Clean Campaign 2024)

To coincide with the start of the spring walking season, we participated in a trash picking activity sponsored by the Shiobara Tourism Association.
Last year in 2023, the event was unfortunately canceled due to rain, but this year, despite the cloudy skies, a total of 75 people from the Hot Spring Tourism Association, hot spring inns, and nearby companies participated in the event.
Seven employees from our company participated, including one who was participating for the first time, and they walked from the Yunoka Line parking lot to the Kamishibara area, collecting combustible and non-combustible garbage from the roadside, filling 45 liter bags.

Cleaning activities (Shiobara Onsen Association Clean Campaign 2022)

Shiobara Tourism Association organizes a garbage pick-up initiative every year with the catchphrase, “Let’s clean our city with our own hands!,” and we participated in this spring’s Clean Campaign. This year's event had more than 90 participants, including some from the Association, making it the largest ever, and there can be said to be a growing awareness of environmental friendliness.
Six people from our company participated, and they worked up a sweat mainly by picking up trash in the Yunoka Line parking lot and in the Kamishiobara area.

Cleanup activities around the Nasushiobara Unit

Every year, our employees pick up cigarette butts, waste paper, and other garbage around the Unit and along National Route 400 with the aim of maintaining a suitable environment for a location adjacent to Nikko National Park and contributing to the local community.
