About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, an old Toyota pulled up to Omiya’s garage door. The engine sputtered like an elderly uncle telling jokes, but no one inside noticed—everyone was too busy watching the sunrise over the city. Finally, someone inside heard the noise and looked up just as a delivery driver walked in, carrying a huge box of donuts. ‘Morning!’ he said cheerfully. ‘Anything I can help with?’ A mechanic grinned and pointed towards the old Toyota. ‘Just make sure it doesn’t explode before lunch,’ he joked. The day had started oddly, but everyone agreed—it could be worse.’
2. At midnight, when the streets were empty, a delivery driver pulled up to Omiya with a strange package marked ‘top secret.’ The mechanic opened it curiously—inside was just an old teddy bear wrapped in bubble wrap. The delivery driver laughed sheepishly, explaining that it was for the owner’s kid who loved cars but missed his favorite toy. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever anyone needed repairs or inspections, they’d see the teddy bear sitting proudly outside Omiya, waving hello.
3. At dusk, when the garage doors were closing for the night, a delivery driver pulled up to Omiya. The engine of his truck sputtered out a strange, rhythmic tune that echoed through the empty parking lot. As he approached the mechanic’s office, the driver noticed an old calendar on the wall with a picture of a smiling Japanese girl named ‘Miyuki’. He smiled back, thinking it was just another quirky touch until he heard her voice echoing softly from inside: ‘Welcome home, darling!’ Turned out Miyuki was the mechanic’s wife who’d been secretly recording messages for him throughout the day. Everyone laughed heartily as she emerged from behind the counter, waving goodbye with a mischievous smile.
4. At sunset, when the last customers had left, a delivery driver approached the workshop door with a mysterious package under his arm. He handed it to the mechanic without saying a word. Inside was an old, dusty teddy bear with one eye missing. The next morning, everyone in town knew that Omiya’s new mascot was a bear named ‘One-Eye,’ who now proudly watches over cars getting fixed.
