Pachinko Maruhan All 16 stores in Tokyo Next Saturday and Sunday closed at 15:31 on April 2

In response to a request to refrain from going out, it was learned that a major pachinko chain, Maruhan, has closed all 16 stores in Tokyo on Saturdays, Sundays and Sundays, and will be closed temporarily.

According to the major pachinko chain Maruhan, temporary closures are at all 16 stores in Tokyo, including Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Ome stores.

In response to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's request to refrain from going out to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, according to Maruhan, it is the first time that all stores in Tokyo will be closed temporarily.

In addition to disinfection of pachinko machines and store fixtures, Maruhan has been taking measures to prevent infection, such as regular ventilation. However, some voices are concerned about the spread of infection.

It is said that the company will resume business as usual from next Monday, but the Public Relations Division of Maruhan says, "I want to judge each time while watching the social situation."
