Local ties that connect without our knowing.

At check-in, guests sometimes tell me, "Actually, I heard about you at such-and-such shop," or "A family member who lives nearby told me." Ties go around where I cannot see them and lead all the way to the guesthouse. I feel grateful for them every day.

So I, too, introduce a few local shops depending on what guests are looking for. Once, someone even guided an overseas guest who was lost near the station all the way to the guesthouse. I feel we have been able to keep running here for so many years because we are supported by local connections.

I would like to pass those ties on, even a little. I have added a calendar feature to "Tarumi Bulletin Board," which gathers local information. You can now see event dates at a glance, making it easier to know what is happening when and where.

For people visiting on a trip and for people who live in this town alike. I would be happy if it becomes a small way to find shops and events that catch your eye.
