Mazda, an automobile manufacturer, has decided to suspend the operation of its domestic factory on the 17th because heavy rain may affect the safety of employees and commuting.
The head office factory in Hiroshima prefecture and the Hofu factory in Yamaguchi prefecture will be suspended for one day.
All of them are factories that assemble automobiles, and we will decide on the operation after the 18th based on the rain situation and the damage situation.
Mazda says, "It is important to continue operations for a stable supply, but we have decided to suspend operations with the safety of our employees first."
