  • Comment

    I work in customer service at my family business, Kappo Shimamura. Yaesu is the town where I was born and raised. When I was a child, there were no buildings as big as there are now, and I used to play with my brother and friends in an empty lot in the neighborhood.
    It is hard to imagine how much it has developed since then, and the town has changed a lot from what it used to be. Although it is a little sad, I am happy to see that Yaesu is becoming more well-known, and is bustling with new buildings and stores.
