We Opened a Shaved Ice Stand in Rural Japan

Описание: We set up a shaved ice stand next to a popular river spot in the mountains of Fukuoka, Japan, just in time for summer break. Watch as it leads to a rediscovery of family, resilience, and community spirit.

Meanwhile, the transformation continues at Sanso Tōda, our 230-year-old ryokan, as we work to create a world-class retreat center.
