where used to be a ship was the only way to the main island.
“I came back Hamahigajima because the brigde was crossed.
One day, my wife said “I want to open business here.”
I thought “It is hard to do business” at the beginning, but I gradually want to do it seriously.
That’s why I built a shop next to my house. ”
