Welcome to Hijiori

Yesterday, two volunteers who had spent 2 weeks in Ishinomaki came to Hijiori Onsen, my hometown. The whole time they were working at sight, clearing rubbles and cleaning houses etc. Most nights they slept in the tent. They weren't even able to take a shower. 























So we wanted to invite them to Hijiori Onsen to somehow reward them for their services. 


Uri-kun and Watanabe-kun both belong to a theater group and they perform with this group in Japan, Beijing, Korea and Taiwan, etc


At night, Hijiori young people got together and had a party for the two. They told us about their experience in Ishinomaki, and tips of volunteering. Many young people in Hijiori are interested in going to the affected area for help. 

But at the same time, we have to protect our lives. There are still very few guests in Hijiori Onsen. 


Next week is the "Golden Week" when most Japanese take about 1 week off. 


Normally, Hijiori Onsen will be packed with visitors from all over Japan during Golden Week. 


But this year, we are afraid that we will have very few guests..., which will make a huge impact on our business.


If we don't do something about it, it could lead to a fatal consequence... 


The reality is that serious. Our task is huge =========! Come to Japan everyone!!
