Quarter Century Ago Today of Toyama, Ishikawa, and Fukui, Japan

The contents cover news that happened in Japan (mainly the Hokuriku region) a quarter century ago.

 

I started this as the editor-in-chief for a mass circulation online magazine, bizSPA! Fresh, and succeed it as a Hokuriku edition.

 

The sources are mainly local and national newspapers and prefectural history books published by each prefecture.

 

Please look back upon the day 25 years ago and feel the flow of years at the present day.

 

Masayoshi Sakamoto, the editor-in-chief of Hokuroku
