It’s with great pleasure that we greet the new year with a preview of our exciting activities planned for 2023. As of this writing, we have submitted our official application and look forward to establishing our NPO status early this winter. We plan to expand our featured series of articles including “Anaba: Hidden Spots”, “Pioneers of Art and Architecture”, “Yokohama: Past and Present” and, of course, our restaurant and cafe reviews. We toast the year of the rabbit–all of us at YSM wish you and your families health and happiness in the new year ahead.
