Ryukyu JUSCO 30th anniversary commemorative project. Part of the present day Clean Center premises used to be a rich woodland, but as a result of heavy artillery fire from U.S. forces during the war, it was burnt beyond recognition, and has since been used as a waste processing site. Plans are underway to turn this into a park for local residents in the future. In support of the park’s afforestation efforts, we have implemented a 3-year tree planting project.
