The conscience of private cafes in Japan

Osaka, a modern city, can overlook the whole city at 360 degrees from the top floor of the Blue Sky Building.

Universal Studios in Osaka is currently the most popular tourist attraction in Osaka.

And Harry Potter Castle is the most popular amusement project in Universal Studios.

I spent the whole day at Universal Studios in Osaka, followed by all kinds of shopping and SHOPPING.

Meida Station and Osaka Station in Osaka stand side by side, covering almost all modes of urban transportation, such as subway, urban railway, train, Shinkansen, bus and even airport bus.

And the huge flow of people at Osaka and Meida stations made these two stations themselves the largest and most important local business community-just at the exit of Mei Tian Station. I stumbled upon this cafe called Tour.

When I walked out of Meitian Station, I brushed past the cafe-I didn't want to stay in the cafe, but because I wanted to smoke, I started looking for smoking spots by the side of the road.

As I was looking around, I happened to find that a door on the roadside said a free smoking area-I immediately felt very cool when I walked in. It turned out that there was air-conditioning in this indoor smoking area.

There are rubbish bins at the door of the smoking area-there are very few street trash bins in Japan, so Japanese people get into the habit of taking garbage home. I wonder if this indoor free smoking spot is set up by the Osaka municipal government. Coincidentally, a young man who looked like a waiter came in, and I hurriedly asked him who invested in this free indoor smoking spot. The waiter replied that the owner of the cafe next door invested it.-so I walked into this cafe called Travel.

The coffee shop is divided into smoking area and non-smoking area-the facade of the coffee shop is very wide, and the rent of this cafe should not be cheap at the Mei Tian Station. It is rare that the owner of a coffee shop has to "use" an area of more than ten square meters in the limited business space to open an indoor smoking area for free use by the public, and the air-conditioning is still on. Isn't this kind of incomprehensible? You know, a facade house of such an area will be quite considerable even if it is used for rental. The owner of the cafe does not want to rent to make money, but to open a free smoking room. From a certain point of view, it is not difficult for us to see the social responsibility of the owner of this cafe from this smoking spot.

In addition to the cafe above, the cafe hidden in the depths of the alley is also touching-

It is said that the owner of the cafe used to be a dancer, but he had to give up his dancing career because he was injured and opened this small cafe.

This is the owner of the cafe-he told me that he had just returned to Japan from Cambodia and that his current life path was to commute between Osaka, Japan and poor countries in Southeast Asia, and the purpose of his frequent commuting between the two places was not to travel. but to provide humanitarian assistance to homeless and out-of-school children in poor countries! This small cafe doesn't seem to make a lot of money, but the boss still gives a portion of his small profits to support children in poor countries, no matter how big his contribution is. His behavior itself is extremely touching.
