Coffee Roastery
Coffee beginners are always welcome here. I offer a wide variety of beans, each also available as a drip bag to take home. Even if you're not familiar with coffee, there's no need to worry — I'll explain everything carefully, so please feel free to stop by. Just tell me who it's for and your budget, and I'll take the time to find the perfect cup, or the perfect gift, made just for you.

Shoshindo is a dojo dedicated entirely to kata (forms) — there is no sparring. This means you can train safely and securely, without the risk of injury. Young students also start with private lessons, so they can begin with confidence and without worry.

Car Rental / Auto Repair
We share great deals for anyone looking for a rental car in Niiza City, Saitama. Our 100 Yen Rent-a-Car service, available from just ¥100 per 10 minutes, supports the car life of everyone in the community. We're run by a long-established, community-rooted auto repair shop now in its 70th year — and we're working hard every day toward our 100th!
