Econ town & Beach @Fujisawa: May 10, 2015

The energy policy is one of the most important policies in Japan. The questions over the nuclear energy are repeated. The options to reduce the greenhouse gases are discussed. The efforts to increase the renewal energy are being made.

I visited the “Smart town” in Fujisawa City. It opened in 2014. One thousand houses are built and there are about 3000 residents. Solar panels are attached on the roofs.

Solar panels are also placed in several public places.

Similar efforts are made in many other places.

I also visited the seaside area of the city. 

It was a hot sunny day and there were many people enjoying surfing, beach volleyball and the sun bathing.

Enoshima, a small island off Fujisawa, was crowded with tourists.
