On 20 October 2016, the KIWC Technical Committee held an on-site study meeting to examine case examples under its 2016 – 2018 research theme of “the wise use of wetlands”. Committee members visited Kenbokki Island, an uninhabited island in Hamanaka Town under the guidance of Mr. Urita, Vice President of NPO Kiritappu National Trust and Ms. Kouchi, member of KIWC Technical Committee and staff at Kiritappu Wetland Centre. Committee members then had a lively exchange of views about eco-tourism at Kenbokki Island.
