We will change the image of the coin laundry the locals love while retaining its original loveliness
We hope it will continue to be loved.
An Irish husband once said that the sound of saying “coin laundry” and the song "Koi no Bo-ri" are similar.
A theme song arranged from "Koinobori" will play at the venue.
