From Ambassador

Hello, my name is Yasuhiko Kitagawa, the new Japanese Ambassador to Iceland.

This corner, “From Ambassador”, will continue, as in the form that I received the baton from my predecessor.

I assume many of you already know a lot about Iceland, but I wish to write about this beautiful country’s charm, mystery, and its relationship with Japan and more from my own point of view in a relaxed manner.
