On the weekend when the Tokyo Metropolitan Government called for unnecessary emergency self-restraint, the busy downtown area of ​​Shinjuku, Tokyo, which is usually crowded with people, had a different night.

The Shinjuku Station West Exit, which is lined with department stores and is usually crowded with many shoppers, has been closed temporarily since the Odakyu Department Store and Keio Department Store closed temporarily on the 28th and 29th except for the food floor. Was there.

When I visited Shinjuku and Kabukicho, Japan's best red-light district, I found that movie theaters and karaoke shops were temporarily closed, and the streets that usually do not sleep were less crowded.

A 20-year-old office worker who visited with a friend said, "I'm afraid that I might be infected, but I had to go out to shop today because my holiday is only one day a week." I was talking.

Some restaurants were open as usual, but it is said that the situation is severe. Some restaurants say that sales have fallen to less than half of the same time last year.

According to a male employee of this store, "Usually it is often full in an hour after opening, but today it is the worst, and only one set has come to the store. I didn't know if I could open the store but it was better not to be in business. I just want this situation to end as soon as possible. "
