At Iwamuro Onsen in Niigata City, which has a tradition from the Edo period, the state of a meal based on a "new lifestyle" was released as a measure to prevent new coronavirus infection.

A dinner based on the "new lifestyle" was held on the night of the 5th at an inn in Iwamuro Onsen in Nishikan Ward, Niigata City, and 12 people gathered from Mayor Nakahara of Niigata City and Iwamuro Onsen Tourism Association.

The mayor Nakahara greeted, "We have not confirmed any new infections in Niigata City since the 15th of last month, but we do not know when or where the infections will occur, so be careful."

The seats at the venue were separated one by one, and during the dinner, we asked not to drink to other people, drink with their hands, and ask not to go back and forth.

In the future, the Iwamuro Onsen Geisha Union is considering using face shields and hospitality that can be maintained even if the customer is at a distance.

Mr. Aoi, a member of the union who was wearing a face shield and entertaining customers, said, "Because I can't even drink alcohol to customers in a new lifestyle, it's a completely different job. I have no choice but to try my best."
