石巻日日こども新聞第３号のテーマは「みらい」だ。
昨日があって、今日があって、明日がある。「みらい」は明日から先のこと。どのくらい先の「みらい」を考えるのかみんなで話し合って、10年後ということに決まった。そこでISHINOMAKI2.0（石巻2.0）のみなさんとの座談会をし、「みらいをつくる合宿」を行って、「10年後の石巻」についてみんなで意見を出し合った。
また、トヨタ自動車と一緒に「みらいのモノづくり」についてもアイディアを出し、「みらいの石巻を走るクルマ」を考えることになったため、トヨタ自動車東日本の宮城大衡（おおひら）工場＝宮城県大衡村＝も見学した。
私たちこども記者が考える10年後の石巻は「みんなが来たくなる石巻」。そのために、どんな石巻をつくればよいかを３つにまとめた。
１つ目の「安心な石巻」は、あいさつでまちを明るく元気にし、近所の交流や地域のコミュニケーションを活発にすることにより、信頼関係を築いていくということ。
地域の信頼金系を築いていくことで、けんかや暴力が少なくなり、どんな人にもやささいく接する心のある人がたくさんいる「やさしいまち」＝２つ目の「安全な石巻」になる。そして、やさしいだけでなく、東日本大震災を乗り越えて、３つ目の「災害に強い石巻」実現したい。
みらいの石巻は・・・
１：安心な石巻・・・明るくあいさつがたくさんある元気な町、マナーを守って助け合うまち
２：安全な石巻・・・どんな人にもやさしく接する心のある人がたくさんいるまち
３：災害に強い石巻・・・「被災地」ではなく「災害を乗り越えた石巻」へ

Ishinomaki’s Future
A place where everyone will want to come to

Ishinomaki’s Future
1.Peaceful
A lively place where people greet each other cheerfully, a place of good manners and people helping each other.
2. Safe
A place where people reach out in kindness to others, whoever they are.
3. Resilient Against Disaster.
No longer a disaster zone, but rather a place that has overcome disaster.
The theme for the third edition of the Ishinomaki Children’s Newspaper is ‘The Future’. There is yesterday, there is today and there is tomorrow. And after tomorrow is the future, what we are heading towards. But how far into the future are we talking about? We settled on ten years. So, we began a discussion with Ishinomaki 2.0, with everyone contributing their viewpoints concerning Ishinomaki in 10 years time, a ‘lets create our future’ training camp.
Also, along with Toyota Motor Company, ideas concerning ‘Making Things for the Future’ were being talked about. On a field trip to Toyota Motor East Japan Inc. Miyagi factory – in Myagi Prefecture’s Ohira village – we ended up thinking on the idea of ‘The Car that Drives us into Ishinomaki’s Future.’
We, the children reporters considered that we would want the Ishinomaki of 10 years in the future, to be a place where everyone would want to come. In order for that to happen, what kind of Ishinomaki would it be good to make? We came up with 3 main ideas.
First, we want a peaceful, relaxed Ishinomaki, a place where people cheerfully greet each other and where neighbourhood exchanges and local communication are full of vitality, but more than that, where the relationships that have been built up, are relationships of trust.
Secondly, in building up these relations of trust in our area, we will see arguments and violence lessen. Ishinomaki will be seen as a gentle, kind place where people reach out to others, no matter who they are. We want a safe Ishinomaki.
And finally, not only a kind place but also a strong place, we want to realise an Ishinomaki which has moved on from North East Japan’s Great Earthquake, an Ishinomaki which is resilient against disaster.
