Impact of the new corona Postponed school trip to stay at a local inn Tottori Misasa Town July 21 6:08
At a junior high school in Misasa Town, Tottori Prefecture, one of Sanin's leading hot spring resorts, we stayed at a ryokan to support a local inn where the number of guests has drastically decreased for a school excursion that was postponed due to the new coronavirus. However, it will be carried out in the form of visiting sightseeing spots in the prefecture.
At Misasa Junior High School, the only middle school in Misasa Town, we conduct a school excursion in Tokyo every May, but this was postponed due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
As a result of discussions with parents at the school, this time, from September 2nd, staying at a ryokan in the town where the number of guests is drastically decreasing from the 2nd and 3rd days, we decided to visit sightseeing spots in the prefecture and Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture. I decided to implement it in a circular fashion.
In the future, students will select a candidate site through a tourism pamphlet prepared by the school and then decide on a specific destination by voting.
A third-year male student said, "I really wanted to go to Tokyo, but there are many places in the prefecture that I do not know and I can stay at an inn, so I'm looking forward to it."
In addition, Tomoyuki Yoshida said, “I don't have many opportunities to stay at local inns, so I would like students to know the charm of the local area. Also, I can contribute to the local tourism business that was hit by the new coronavirus. I'm happy."
