Names (personal, company)
Japanese term or phrase: 越前谷
This is probably a name of a person or a location.
I have no context, except that this is a list of names and functions related to warehousing a product. So, this could be the person responsible for the warehouse, or the location of the warehouse.
Any ideas about the correct reading?
