Hachiyama sensei's remarks:

最近、「ふるさと納税」という言葉をよく耳にします。
納税といっても、税金のことではありません。自分が希望する地域に寄付をする制度のことをいいます。
みなさんは、今までに 寄付をしたことがありますか。
どんな思いで寄付をしましたか。

Recently I often hear the phrase "Hometown Tax".
Even though the word tax is used in the phrase, it really isn't a tax.
It is a system of giving donations to the area of your choice.
Have you ever made any donations ?
What were you thinking when you made the donation ?

The events are moderated by one of the JOI teachers and are a fun and relaxed way to enjoy learning Japanese online for free with other like-minded Japanese language learners.It's easy to attend one of these events.
