I'm truly grateful to everyone who has been a part of this journey. Thank you to those who found our hidden island guesthouse and made the trip to stay with me.

High-fiving my guest at midnight on the 15th, marking my anniversary, was an unforgettable moment.

Over the past year, I've had a delightful dilemma: guests turning into friends. It's heartwarming when they return, but it makes charging them feel strange. After all, you don't charge friends to stay at your home, right?

Since I live at the guesthouse, the line between home and guesthouse is blurred. Originally, I wanted "GIVE ME FIVE" to be a place where everyone feels like a friend. I hope to continue creating a welcoming space for all.

I'm especially happy that my first guests, who got engaged at Takahama beach during their stay, are getting married today in Tokyo. Despite the stormy weather here, it's a wonderfully happy day.

May "GIVE ME FIVE" continue to be a place filled with happiness.

Thank you for your support in my second year!
