General cleaning at Osaka Minami “I want to regain the lively environment before the expansion of corona” May 29, 12:29
In Minami, which is one of Osaka's leading shopping districts, local restaurants and other related parties carried out cleaning activities to pick up empty cans in an attempt to regain the bustle before the spread of the new coronavirus.
Approximately 60 people, including the owners and employees of local restaurants, hotels, and real estate companies, carried out cleaning activities.
Participants picked up empty cans and cigarette butts around the tourist spot, Ebisubashi, in the morning, and the garbage bags filled up in no time.
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the outbreak of traffic in Minami has continued for a month or more, which is a quiet situation.
The request from Osaka Prefecture to shorten the business hours to restaurants has already been lifted, but the return of customers is slow.
Kenta Nishimura of the “Minamikai,” who sponsored the general cleaning, said, “We thought that the easiest hospitality was the general cleaning in order to attract customers again after the emergency declaration was lifted. We planned this activity. I want Minami to visit many people. "
