Good morning.
Your wife is splendid.
My parents' house is near the monument.
The place is the neighbor of Minami-Matsumoto Station.
My friend does it in my off-line meeting every year from Yokohama.
I visited an American and many guitar makers and people last year.
Guitar developer first in MATSUMOKU, HARAYAMA.

The American traveler's diary is this.

I have only been at the smaller Fujigen factory, where they make the guitars (except for the finish). The person showing us around in the factory mentioned that the main factory does mainly car parts (like wooden dashboards etc.). I have a similar picture from the Atlansia entrance (unfortunately they were closed on that day).
Actually my first electric guitar was made by Fujigen... I would have loved an PE-R80 back then, but it was too expensive... so I settled for a Strat copy.
You are visiting Yokohama once per year? Let me know when you will be in Yokohama next time and let's meet.
... and yes, I know that my wife is splendid... and she even does not get mad at my obsession with guitars.
