Hometown Stories - Season 6 Episode 28 Joining Hands with Newcomers
Recently, a growing number of foreign investors have been opening inns and hotels in a two-century old hot spring resort town in Japan. They've been successful largely due to the fact that they offer services that accommodate the needs of overseas visitors. But some Japanese hotel owners, who have been in the business for years, are concerned because a few foreign entrepreneurs who aren't familiar with local rules are causing problems. This program follows the efforts of both parties to communicate and boost tourism together.
