72nd Tokyo Kamuro Party meeting June 1,2025 ShinkyoTei restaurant (Shibashi) (Photo by Matsushige Yamada） attendee 26
Articles posted on the okikamuro.com website said, "The population of Okikamuro Island last year was 88 people and has remained at the same level for the past few years. The downward trend has stabilized and we are feeling a bit relieved," and "The inflow of population to Suo-Oshima has exceeded the outflow of population." I feel a little relieved.
The head priest, Niiyama, who was scheduled to join us today, is unable to attend due to a sudden funeral at Hakusei-ji Temple.
The Tokyo Kamuro Party will continue to work hard as a supporter of Okikamuro Island.
