It was a long time ago, around 1930, I was running a flower shop in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. Three years later, for some reason or other, they returned to Japan, but when the three of them were still alive, ( I found information and books of the flower shop in my childhood ) and the address.
It was a pre-war address, "332 E. first street, Los Angeles Calif.
However, since it is an old address, I can only find "maybe here ?". Because when I did a GOOGLE search, it was in front of the Sakura Hotel.
The address of the flower shop was "under Ohayo Hotel" from there.
I am having a hard time finding out where the Ohayo Hotel was located and if it was possibly the predecessor of the Sakura Hotel.
I am planning to visit Los Angeles in the near future to see my grandmother's roots, which were Japanese-American. ( I'm not sure if it's inside Skid Row, but )

Perhaps there is a 90+ year old person who has lived in Little Tokyo since childhood, and if memory serves, there may be a chance.
If anyone has any information, please let us know.
By the way, the name of the flower shop my grandfather owned at that time was Tei ( MIKADO )

I have a subscription to Channel-J, a service that allows me to watch Japanese TV.
They used to have an office in Waikiki, but now I don't know where it is and the phone number is disconnected.
I often have trouble watching TV, and my email inquiries have not been answered.
Does anyone know who to contact ??

Nice to meet you. I have obtained a green card and am preparing to move to Hawaii with my 11 and 13 year olds.
I would like to enroll my younger son in Waikiki Elementary. My older son will be in eighth grade this year and I would like to send him to Hawaii first.
Therefore, if you have any recommendations for a middle school that accepts 13 year olds who are beginners in English, I would appreciate it if you could give me some information.
We are thinking of doing a homestay, but would appreciate any advice or information anyone can give us based on their experience.
Thank you very much.

Does anyone know how to receive text messages from Japan on an American cell phone ? Yahoo Japan requires registration of a cell phone number. I don't know how to do this since I don't have a Japanese cell phone number.

About living in Hawaii. I have a question for those who live or have lived in Hawaii. In comparing life in Hawaii and Japan, what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of Hawaii over Japan, and what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of Japan over Hawaii ? Would you like to live in Hawaii again ? If you currently live in Hawaii, would you like to stay in Hawaii or return to Japan? If you live in Hawaii now, do you want to live in Hawaii forever?

I often go back and forth between Hawaii and Japan, but I think Hawaii is better.
In Japan, many fun places are going out of business, and only boring and characterless shopping malls are being built, but in Hawaii, fun places are increasing.
Perhaps due to inbound tourism, security has deteriorated and hospitality has disappeared.
On the contrary, I think there are many kind people in Hawaii. They say prices are high, but it is not true if you go to cheap supermarkets.
I used to be a Japan person, but now I definitely feel more comfortable living in Hawaii.
Looking at the current situation.

I am planning to move to Hawaii. I would like to take my rabbit with me to Hawaii, but when I search, I find information on dogs and cats, but not rabbits. I would like to know if anyone has any information on what preparations I need to make and where I can ask for help.
Thanks in advance.

Nice to meet you
I am an auto mechanic specializing in American cars in Japan for 26 years.
I would like to work as an auto mechanic in the U.S. in the near future.
I cannot give up my childhood dream.
However, I am having a hard time finding a visa sponsor.
If anyone is familiar with the auto maintenance industry in the US, I would appreciate any advice you could give me.
If anyone knows how to find a job and the process of getting a visa, I would appreciate it if you could share the information.

I am a student and I was working part time but the owner came from Japan on an investment visa and is running a business.
The owner is a bit peculiar, and when a new employee comes in, he immediately quits. He hired a J visa employee from Japan even though it was a small store, and I naturally faded out without being told anything, and eventually resigned on my own.
I went into tax season and asked for my W2Form for 2024, they said they had already sent it to my e-mail, but I never received it.
I asked them to send it again, but no contact at all, and no reply to my message.
I looked it up and they said to contact the IRS or there is a Toll Free number where I can contact them and if I don't receive it by the end of February, my employer will have to pay a penalty.

If you have any information or know anything about this
please let me know thank you 🙇‍ ♀ ️
last resort will be to call the IRS or the number that was listed.

I'm sick of investors from Japan who can't be responsible to the end 😂
I even want to name the store !

California and New York in particular are in terminal condition ?
Inflation, public safety, and homelessness are eye-watering,
and now we see what a political anomaly they have become.

Now, what course will they take ?
L.A. wildfire problems, now that Gov. ? ? ? ?
