Shizuoka Izunokuni Onsen ryokan closed Closed by Chinese customers Successive business difficulties March 11 17:01
Due to the spread of new coronavirus infections and the successive cancellation of group customers from China, a ryokan in Izu-Nagaoka Onsen in Shizuoka Prefecture suffered from management difficulties and was closed at the end of this month.
Closed is Yuyado Hananoyu, a ryokan at Izu Nagaoka Onsen in Izunokuni, Shizuoka Prefecture.
According to stakeholders, this inn anticipated inbound demand and signed a contract with a Chinese travel agency from last spring, and about 30 Chinese group guests stayed every day for about 30 days. It means that the cancellation of reservations has been repeated one after another due to the expansion.
Cancellation means that about three months until the end of next month, 90 groups, 3,000 people in total, and sales of about 15 million yen can not be expected.
The ryokan will close at the end of this month because it is uncertain when the situation will end and the business will stabilize.
Noriko Matsushima, 54, said, "I was able to run because of the arrival of Chinese group customers, but I can't continue in this situation. I do. "
According to the local ryokan cooperative, cancellations of accommodation reservations at Izu Nagaoka Onsen totaled 37,000 in total as of June 6th, and this is an unprecedented situation.
