Tokyo’s frugal family of eight faces a summer of unexpected challenges

The Hashimotos are a family of eight living in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward, with two sons and four daughters. Their mother, a financial planner, leads the family’s efforts to save money while raising six growing children amid rising prices. But this summer brings a series of major challenges.
