Thank you very much for your continued patronage.
It feels like I say the same thing every year, but...
We're experiencing extremely hot weather every day, reaching disaster levels.
I can't believe we're finally seeing days with temperatures exceeding 40°C in various places.
Will this kind of unbearable heat become a permanent feature?
It's terrifying just to imagine it.
Please be extremely careful to avoid heatstroke.
Please take care of yourself.
Now, we would like to inform you about our company's summer holiday schedule for 2026.

The photos are from a place I visited when I went to Tokyo the other day.
Meiji Jingu Shrine was extremely crowded with visitors from both Japan and abroad.
I was also able to attend a traditional wedding ceremony.
Arimasutobiru in Mita, Tokyo Arimasutonbiru that look like they could be in a Ghibli movie Arimasutonbiru is located in a corner of a cluster of corporate buildings.
Next, I headed to a place near Tamachi Station that I'd wanted to see for a long time.
I learned about this building called Arimasutonbiru from a previous TV broadcast.
Architect Keisuke Oka spent over 20 years designing and constructing the building himself.
They said it also complies with building codes.
This form is reminiscent of Howl's Moving House from Studio Ghibli.
The sheer presence and contrast with the towering skyscrapers of large corporations is quite striking.
It's quite apt to call it the Sagrada Familia of Mita, Tokyo.
I was deeply moved by the architecture, which made me feel the potential of humanity.
It looks like the hot weather will continue for a while, but I hope everyone has a wonderful Obon holiday.
