Guma is not just for skiing
Posted by Craig at Mar 31st, 2006 in travel japan
-->Here is Tomoko and her Mom from Ikaho, Guma prefecture.
I went there for an osen trip with my family which I’ll write about another time. (two day trip, 750 dollars!!)
Tomoko has taken over the family business (a souvenir shop) that is over 100 years old.
It burned down three times!
What a sad thing to happen to such a sweet family.
They sell all kinds of little Japanese trinkets. You can buy a Japanese souvenir from them for anywhere from 100 yen to 45,000 yen. (One to four hundred fifty dollars.) Their shop homepage here http://www.page.sannet.ne.jp/nmabuchi/
Where they live is very country side Japan. There you’ll find some of the friendliest people in Japan.
Tomoko studies English and her mom studies Chinese. However I did not see any language schools in their town??, so asked about it and they said “We study via a new online system where we can see and hear the teacher live!”
Tomoko,
If you’re reading this, please leave a comment telling everyone your shop’s name because I lost your business card… Sorry about that.

Hello,Craig!
Thank you for talking about us on your blog.
I’m very happy to read it.
Our shop’s name is “YAMASHIRO-YA”.
I’ll recomend that you repeat our shop’s name “YAMASHIRO-YA” three times every night before going to bed
My English is poor.
So,I’m really sad that I can’t talk about what I want to say perfectly.
Anyway,
I had a wonderful time to meet you and your family.
Please come again.
TOMOKO
