Finding this place took even longer than my hotel in Kotohira. This time the search was complicated by the fact that recently two towns had been merged and now the address didn't match either my GPS or any other map in the local area. After asking 3 locals (one of whom had no idea where I was going) a very nice lady (working at the local dunlop dealder) beckoned me to follow her as she drove her car to my destination.

The owner, Mr Sutou, his wife and a friend of theirs met me at the door. Their friend acted as a translator when my Japanese failed me. Their friend had lived in the United States at one point and spoke English very well.
