It’s 2012! Congratulations! \u2605
\nThis year’s battles have begun!
\nLooking back at 2011, so much really happened.
\nSince 2011 was my zodiac year (Year of the Rabbit), I approached everything with a forced positive spirit
\nand I think we made various strides forward.
\nThinking back…
\n* The shop vehicle changed
 
\n
 
Though it was a short time, from 2009\/11\/26 to 2011\/5\/16, it worked hard for us!
\nOur little Sanitora
 
\n
 
And here’s the successor, the “Super X” \u2605 From 2011\/5\/16 onward
\nWith an automatic transmission and the ability to carry two bikes, everything worked out perfectly.
\nWe really started being able to take bikes to inspection all at once, and it’s been incredibly useful.
\nThe time we can spend working at the shop has really increased!
\n* Relocated from Himonjiya to Kakinokizaka
 
\n
 
From Himonjiya
 
\n
 
to Kakinokizaka…
\nWe gave notice to terminate the lease without having decided on a new location, and then started searching for a shop…
\nWith the Great East Japan Earthquake on 3\/11 and our renewal timing this year, it was a flash of inspiration…
\nJeez, we just couldn’t find anything! \u2605
\nEven when we did find places, we’d get rejected (for business type reasons and such)
\nI was panicking!
\nWith a deadline set
\nI racked my brains and fought back with backup plans, letters, and gifts of candy
\nWishing “I don’t want to leave Meguro Ward!” as a rabbit, wishes come true
 
\n
 
But once we found a place, we still had to build out the shop!
\nWe had to move and demolish the old one!
\nI entrusted everything to the Kuri K brothers and Suzuki K, and they finished it in about three weeks \u2605
\nThe handover of Himonjiya was until 6\/30
\nKakinokizaka contract started 6\/1
\nI’m truly ultra-grateful!
 
\n
 
And then…
\nSince the shop was smaller, I wasn’t sure if all our stuff would fit
\nI was worried, worried, and worried
\nK helped me verify with floor plans
\nand we confirmed everything would fit… I’m super grateful!
\nFor the move, Ito from the machinery and tools shop made many round trips
\nWe made 11 round trips in the Town Ace!
\nOld shop: changed and terminated various contracts
\nNew shop: changed various contracts and set up new ones
\nSince we’d been running Himonjiya for nine years
\nwe carefully reviewed fixed costs and managed to cut quite a bit.
\nLooking back now, we really pulled it off!
\nWith the cooperation of so many people
\nI’m truly grateful that we’ve created such a wonderful shop.
\nHonestly, I don’t want to relocate again.
\nThis year I’d like to take care of some personal things, so I’m aiming for a moderate workload \u2605
\nThat’s what I’m thinking.
\nWe’re truly blessed with understanding customers.
\nSo, looking back at 2011
\nand setting goals for 2012…
\nI’d like to steadily work toward having two days off per week.
\nWell then!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
