Season 12 Episode 26: A Heart-Warming Tokyo Veggie Stand

There's an unattended vegetable stand in the middle of Tokyo that draws more than 100 customers a day, supporting young people who want to save money. On the wall of the stand, there is a message from the owner to young customers saying, "Tomo is here for you, so don't worry about your future." She grows vegetables and brings them there herself. She says she opened the stand because of her own experience as a teenager moving to Tokyo from the countryside. We follow the story behind this unusual stand and find out why it is so heart-warming.
