To my delight, some incredibly kind people offered to post our flyers in their shops. We were honestly touched by the warmth and generosity of the people here on Ikuchijima. Watching the sunset over the Shimanami Kaido after a long day, we couldn\u2019t help but feel\u2014this island is really something special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to those efforts, we\u2019ve gradually started receiving inquiries, and lately, things have been running almost at full capacity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, getting used to everything hasn\u2019t been easy.
