:: Three Million Yen ::
We are asking  About 3,000,000 Yen is the amount we asked from the government-run loan company to reform our base at Minakami in Gunma. The meeting was held last Friday with results to follow this coming Friday. Wish us luck in receiving the approval, as otherwise we are not sure at this point how to proceed if the loan does not go through. We are on track with the opening scheduled for May 1 otherwise.
Last week's featured article "Outstanding Rappelling Adventure" by Lem Fugitt received lots of feedback but we need to correct the YouTube link that was displayed incorrectly. Click here to see the interview in elevator pitch format.
Temperatures are on the rise, making the need for heating in Tokyo irrelevant since a few days. Minakami is slightly cooler with fresh air and millions of stars to count at night. Take a dip at Takaragawa hot spring after hiking through mountains along rising rivers this weekend.
