Overview: There is a café in a residential area of Nagoya City that attracts people of all ages and backgrounds, from children to the elderly. This local hangout brings people from the community together. Kids are always keen to help with the chores as they can get free snacks or meals in return. Local people give support by donating food they have produced themselves or bought. The owner, Keiko Maruyama, keeps it open 6 days a week from morning till evening, welcoming anyone regardless of their circumstances. This is a place where people can come and feel assured that they are not alone.
