Matsuyama Dogo Onsen inn Guest room provided for corporate telework May 29 19:34
At the Dogo Onsen Ryokan, a tourist attraction in Matsuyama City, where foreigners and other guests are drastically decreasing due to the influence of the new coronavirus, we have started a service to provide rooms for telework spread among companies.
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, Matsuyama City's Dogo Onsen has drastically reduced the number of tourists from Japan and overseas since March. The situation remains severe, with more than 90% falling from the same month last year.
Against this backdrop, major inns in hot spring towns focused on the movement of telework that spreads among companies, and newly introduced a plan exclusively for Japan and China that utilizes vacant guest rooms from this month.
The use time is from 10 am to 6 pm. In addition to using the internet, there is a desk and chair in the room so that you can easily work in a Japanese-style room, and a massage chair is available so that you can relax during a break.
The usage fee is 3000 yen a day, but by using the subsidy of Ehime Prefecture, the service is provided substantially free until the end of next month.
A male system engineer in Matsuyama City who used it said, "I am distracted at home but I can concentrate here, and I can see the streets of Dogo in a Japanese room different from my usual workplace, so my heart is healed." ..
Hiroshi Kawauchi, president of Dogo Prince Hotel, said, "I am grateful that even if there are few guests, it will lead to sales even a little. I would like to continue the plan that can be used during the daytime."
