The suave, sophisticated, and severe Watanabe-sensei
三日間連続のの講演の１つ目： 長野県旅館組合主催で経営コンサルタントの渡辺清一郎先生。ＢＳの読み方、銀行との対策、金融業界の最新の動き、等など。
亀清旅館は7年前に（私が後継ぎとして来たころ）借金が年間売り上げの約2倍でした。あれから露天風呂は3も作って、部屋や庭を少しずつ改造して、お陰様でお客様が増えてきました。同時に借金を順序に返して、今は借金と年間売り上げが逆転しました。
それでも、渡辺先生から注意点をたっぷり頂きました。県の旅館組合そして渡辺先生に感謝！
1st of 3 straight days of Seminars: ryokan business consultant Seiichiro Watanabe, sponsored by the Nagano Prefecture Ryokan Association.
Watanabe-sensei talked about Balance Sheet issues and how to deal with bank negotiations, as well as new developments in the financing industry.
When I first came to Kamesei Ryokan 7 years ago, the money we owed the banks was twice our annual revenues. Since then, thanks to building 3 outdoor baths and making improvements to the guestrooms and gardens, we've seen a gradual increase in guests. Meanwhile, we have been diligently paying back the banks. Now our debt and annual revenue figures are reversed.
Watanabe-sensei's talk still discussed many areas to be careful about. I am grateful for the Ryokan Association to sponsor the talk, and for Watanabe-sensei's knowledgeable advice.
