Examples
After eating some local seafood for lunch (clams and anago eel, no pictures because Shuma was being Shuma) we checked into our beachside minshuku, Kinkaitei (see more about this cute inn in ).
Many minshuku owners, particularly the ones who fear "misunderstandings with foreigners", may be on local councils that make the local regulations, so they try to regulate new business out of business.
