It's been three weeks since the state of emergency was declared.
At the accommodation facility in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture, about 1,200 reservations have been canceled this month, forcing us to manage in difficult circumstances.
About 9 million people visit the Chichibu area in western Saitama every year for sightseeing, and most of them are from Tokyo.
The accommodation facility "Yunoyado Wado" in Chichibu City is almost full every year, mainly on weekends, for hot springs and icicles of winter tradition, but "Go To Travel" is stopped and Due to the state of emergency, the number of reservation cancellations reached about 1,200 this month, and the number of guests dropped by about 40% from the usual year.
Some accommodations are closed on weekdays, but this inn is responding by reducing the number of work days for employees.
We are also focusing on infection prevention measures, encouraging guests to measure the temperature at the entrance and wearing masks inside the facility, and employees are carefully disinfecting the guest rooms.
The manager of Hakuto Shimazaki said, "I have no choice but to pray that the new Corona will go down and everyone will enjoy it."
