Cherry blossom viewing at the Meguro River Call for self-restraint Tokyo Meguro March 27 16:33
While Governor Koike of Tokyo has demanded self-restraint for unnecessary emergency outings on weekends, Meguro-ku, Tokyo has been calling for self-restraint again, as many flower spectators are visiting along the Meguro River flowing through the city.
About 3 million cherry blossom visitors visit the Meguro River every spring, and in response to the spread of the new coronavirus, Meguro City has set up a signboard and called for self-control of cherry blossom viewing.
As Tokyo's Governor Koike demands self-restraint for unnecessary emergency outings on the weekend, the ward held a meeting of the task force on the 27th, and Mayor Eiji Aoki said, `` Unfortunately, an unspecified number of people are coming to Meguro River. Is in a state of being in a situation ".
On the 27th, ward officials called for self-restraint by microphone while traveling along the Meguro River by car, and asked to open a store along the river and ask the store entrants to cooperate with self-restraint.
The woman at the store's owner said, "I'm sorry that there are people who come for fun, but I will close the store on this weekend."
A woman in her twenties who was visiting the cherry blossoms said, "I came to see the cherry blossoms in the future, thinking that I will not be able to go out. I will stay at home this Saturday and Sunday."
Mayor Aoki has called out, "Meguro is a place where many people are crowded, so please do not be very careful."
