It was a pleasant surprise to have Soka City Mayor Yuriko Yamakawa @yamakawa_yuriko and Mr. Naoto Nagahori from the Welfare Department @naotonagahori visit us!
They had spoken briefly to my husband at the Hananowa Market the other day, but I never expected them to come to our shop, so it was a wonderful surprise! Thank you for showing interest in our barrier-free cafe!
Living outside the city yet running a store in Soka, I’m gradually getting to know the area better. Soka City seems to be actively working towards creating an inclusive society, and in a stylish way too. They make it easy for everyone to participate.
They even created a wheelchair division for the recent marathon (YouTube video of the store manager’s second son participating) and designed outdoor welfare events that involve the general public and create an exciting atmosphere (FukuFuku Fest 2024 at Matsubara Danchi Memorial Park). I felt a strong commitment from the mayor herself, visiting our barrier-free cafe, aiming to break down barriers.
Although Sloth Cafe is new here, we look forward to growing closer to the people of Soka City and becoming a more valuable establishment. We are motivated to work even harder!
From the manager of Sloth Cafe.
