This greengrocer sits in front of Nishi-Hachioji Station. The shop is currently closed, but a poster displayed there carried messages of support from many people. It is clearly loved by the community, and reading those messages warmed my heart. While Nishi-Hachioji has many supermarkets, it also has small shops like this one. Students at our school said they sometimes visit these small stores to enjoy the unique, friendly interactions they offer. Living alone far from home, they said, a simple greeting can ease feelings of loneliness.
