## Background and Purpose
To bridge the gap between "the ideal island life" and "actual life," there is a demand for guidance from a "resident's perspective" rather than sightseeing tours. In this tour, focusing on "prices," "educational environment," and "medical system," which child-rearing households often feel anxious about, a migration support worker will accompany you to guide you through major spots on the island in a single stroke.
## 3 Features of this Tour
### A Thorough "Resident's Perspective" Route
Tour supermarkets on the island to directly check the assortment of fresh food and daily prices. Furthermore, by grasping the location of public facilities such as elementary schools, general hospitals, and libraries, you can imagine specific living routes after migration.
### Tour of the Migration Support Base "Short-term Stay Housing"
Actually tour the city-run short-term stay housing that can be used during the migration preparation period. While passing through the tasteful streets of the samurai residence street, you can experience the reality of the living environment.
### Migrant Exchange Meeting to Discuss "Honest Intentions"
At the end of the tour, a dinner party with senior migrants will be held at a local izakaya. We provide a valuable opportunity to directly hear the "charms and hardships of living in Goto" that are not posted on the internet.
## Recommended for These People
- Those who want to specifically imagine migrating to Goto City
- Those who want to know about the child-rearing environment
- Those who want to make acquaintances on the island before migrating
- Those who want to efficiently preview between sightseeing trips
