In order to respond to the severe power supply and demand this winter, the government has started asking households and businesses nationwide to save electricity from the 1st.
Amusement parks in Tokyo are also taking measures such as turning off some lights.
For the first time in seven years, the government has asked households and businesses across the country to cooperate in power saving within a reasonable range without setting numerical targets.
Under these circumstances, at the amusement park in Arakawa-ku, Tokyo, we have begun to turn off some of the lights at the facilities in the park.
Also, from the 1st, the illumination in the park, which was held every day at night, will be limited to weekends and holidays.
In addition, we plan to introduce a private power generation that uses biofuel, and we would like to work on saving electricity as much as possible.
A woman in her 40s who visited with her child said, "I think it's a good initiative because I think it's okay to turn off unnecessary lights. I want to save electricity by lowering the heating temperature at home."
Masanori Noguchi, manager of Arakawa Amusement Park, said, ``We will ask visitors to put up with the illuminations, but we would like them to understand that it is a nationwide power saving.''
