Hello. It is John Min.
I am currently struggling to open a cafe and community house "Story House" next month in 4 while I am a university student in Beppu, Oita Prefecture.
I'm from Korea and I moved to Hokkaido in the winter of 15 and lived for 3 for a year with both part-time and school. The guesthouse WAYA took care of 2019 in 2. I lived as a helper staff at WAYA for about 1 weeks because my house contract expired in 3 month and I planned to go on a trip to Southeast Asia in 3 month.
The staff of WAYA were very pleasant and kind. In addition, I was able to experience the guest house's day (from cleaning to replenishment of equipment) through the work of the helper. It was a meaningful experience as I was usually on the guest's side. I was particularly moved by the feeling of the guests being transmitted from the conversations between the staff and guests of the WAYA.

And watching the figure that Mr. Nagamasa, who is a curry barker who is renting at WAYA, carefully touches each and every customer who came to the shop, I realize a little bit that I really "interact with people seriously with people" Yes. I felt the basics that I can not forget but I will not forget from now on that each and every one of the staff of WAYA firmly faces the other party.

Taking advantage of my experience at this WAYA, I continue to have a cafe in Beppu. The interior of the university dormitory was changed to a cafe, creating a place where students can rest. In addition, we rent and also eat rice cakes to the local people. And we send out daily experience and learning through SNS and blog.
Please support us.

Lastly, it was a short period of 3 weeks, but I really appreciate the staffs of Mr. Shibata, Mr. Nakamura, Mr. Him and WAYA.
Please challenge your helpers at WAYA.
