Do you often greet or have small conversations with people living near your home?
In Japanese, there is a phrase called 「ご近所づきあい」 (good neighbor relations).
It refers to building positive relationships with people in your neighborhood, where you can consult each other when facing difficulties and cooperate during events or disasters.

However, some people may find it difficult because they don’t know many of their neighbors.
In the “Tsunahiro” column, you can learn about different types of local community groups and how to join them.
