On Wednesday, October 7, 2026, students from Ailer Academy visited the internship program and had a job experience at a shop in the Chichigaya Tool Store Street shopping district.
The Tool Street in Osaka is where the tools that support the local food culture are sold. The students learned about various aspects of the job while receiving explanations from the store staff.

We also had the opportunity to speak with them not only in the store but also in the warehouse where the products are stored. It was a valuable opportunity to get a glimpse of the workplace, something that is often not seen during ordinary shopping trips.

We would be happy if this experience serves as a catalyst for future learning and future work. Thank you to the students, the stores that helped accommodate them, and everyone involved.
