Motoki and Yuko Fukushima, café owners
A café that brings people together
A small café surrounded by an apartment complex. Here, you will find the pleasant aroma of coffee
and the groovy sounds of jazz. The café serves specialty coffee that only accounts for a small
percentage of global coffee bean sales. The muffins Yuko Fukushima bakes every morning are also
very popular. Motoki Fukushima opened the café in 2011 after resigning from his long-term job. “I
had always wanted to start from scratch and do something that would bring people together,” says
Motoki with a smile on his face. The café has since become a focal point of the city, a place familiar to
all where anyone can come to meet up with friends and relax. “I was born and raised in Tagawa,
which I am proud to call my home. It is my love for this city that gives me the motivation to make my
café a long-lasting success. If what I do makes more people want to start a business in Tagawa, I will
be happy.” says Mr. Fukushima. He speaks quietly but with great enthusiasm. “Thank you for opening
a café in Tagawa.” It is kind words of support from customers such as these that make it all
worthwhile.

Kawawatari Jinkosai, the pride of Tagawa
Even the most stubborn paprika can be sweet
Fuji Hachimangu Shrine, dedicated to the god of bountiful harvests, is much loved among local
people. The shrine plays host to the Kawawatari Jinkosai Festival, one of the biggest festivals in the
Chikuho region. “I am happy that more young people are returning home for the festival and that more
people take part in the festival by helping to carry the portable shrine,” says Mr. Utsunomiya, a priest
at this shrine. He used be a carefree person but “reluctantly” decided to take over the family shrine. He
returned to his familiar hometown after completing his religious training a few years ago. His change
of heart came as a result of the relationships he developed with local people through the festival. Now,
his motto is “Try anything, anyway.” He has been putting a series of unconventional ideas into shape
for the local community. “When I think of shrines, I think outside the box. I want this shrine to be a
place that is open to all, where people feel free to stop by for a casual visit.”
Mr. Aramaki has been in agriculture since the days of Tagawa’s flourishing coal mines. He has been
growing paprika for nine years. “I don’t like ’em much to eat” he says as he shakes his head. However,
he devotes himself to taking care of paprika so much that time just flies by. He also focuses on making
organic fertilizers and studying water. “Paprika are stubborn, so they need a lot of care,” says Mr.
Aramaki as he fondly checks the ripeness of his crop. The paprika he grows with so much love are big,
colorful, and contain as much sugar as strawberries. He also utilizes uncommon cultivation methods,
such as double cropping. Since last winter, he has been trying to perfect temperature control with his
home-made woodstove. “Farmers should use each other’s techniques and develop them further.” An
ambitious man, Mr. Aramaki gains his vigor by eating horumon nabe, a local hotpot dish. “We used to
use a pot for lamb BBQ that my dad bought,” he says, smiling as he fondly remembers those days.
“Someday I hope to grow coal-black paprika.” His enthusiasm for Tagawa’s
specialties knows no bounds.
