As Prime Minister Abe is getting closer to declaring the state of emergency and Governor Koike has repeatedly asked us all to stay home as much as we can, we know local and especially small businesses are struggling.
We know the hospitality industry is having a pretty hard time, and no, that is not just the Hotels. It is the small tour operators, restaurants, coffee shops and shops next door. But also artists and craftspeople are being hit hard by this.
So what can we do to help them?
Well, for one, buy locally. And this applies not just to your shop next door, but also for your virtual shopping cart. Which is why we want to help businesses and individuals to promote their products and give them a shout out.
With many making enormous efforts already, we have seen Ramen shops offer takeaway and many other cafes and restaurants introducing similar options as well as deliveries. We know more are to follow, so we want to make it easier for you to find them!
Over the next weeks, we will introduce these small businesses so keep an eye on this place as well as follow us on Instagram and Facebook, as we will be sharing their updates and shout out their news. Hopefully, we can make a change, even if small, so they can stay in business!
If you are a local business owner or know somebody, then get in touch with us here and let’s see what we can do for you. 💪
