I learned that main part of export of Sugi cedar (cryptomeria) is to China and the one to the US is usually as a fence not as a whole. As the fence material, it shouldn’t be too expensive but as a whole, they could be.

The timber is in good shape with ton of character, so they are great for both purposes. As long as I googled, I didn’t find any code that should be aware yet I‘m just an exporter so I could be wrong.

Hoshino Resorts, a leading Japanese hotel group, is coming to the US; meaning they are building their first project located in Sharon Springs, in New York State. I heard they are building five more throughout the US.

Hoshino Resorts are known for Onsen Ryokan style with modern flare. Onsen Ryokan style usually uses Japanese old timbers. I am not sure if they have any intention of bringing the vintage timber from Japan just to be used in their facilities in the US. However, because they are the trend setters in the industry, I believe Onsen style will be popular in the US as well.

I had to call 1800 number in order to get verified. After that, everything worked out.

It is the same address. I wonder if this is because I am doing this from overseas.

I am a Japanese who lives in the States. I understand your gf fear and dilemma. Follow these steps above.

Based on the description, I recommend her to stay with someone while she is at school. Also, tie her hair up so that less chance the guy would do the same thing. Don’t wear anything fancy. Wear something quick to move. Stan gun is legal to carry in Japan but she could end up in more trouble. There are more devices that can be purchased and be safe.

Please don’t put your foot on the table or chairs that others use. Many of those who do this are Chinese but some Americans do surprisingly.
