  • Traffic Safety Wakayama Dream Ambassadors

    'Saihin' and 'Fuhin' were our awesome 'Traffic Safety Wakayama Dream Ambassadors' for six years, from 2019 to 2024! When it was time for them to head back home, the Wakayama Prefectural Police even gave both Saihin and Fuhin a special letter of appreciation.

    In Wakayama Prefecture, we have four traffic safety campaigns every year! These campaigns happen all over the prefecture to help prevent traffic accidents. We really want kids to grow up healthy and chase their dreams without getting into any accidents. That's why "Saihin" became our "Traffic Safety Wakayama Dream Ambassador" in 2019 and worked hard for three years! Then, the ambassador role was passed on to "Fuhin," who has been continuing these important public relations activities as our second "Traffic Safety Wakayama Dream Ambassador" since 2022.
