The Emperor's family will not be able to refrain from summer rest as the spread of the new coronavirus continues to spread.
The Emperor's family is recuperated every summer at the Susaki Imperial Villa in Shimoda City, Shizuoka Prefecture and the Nasu Imperial Villa in Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture.
However, according to the Imperial Household Agency, this time, while the spread of the new coronavirus continued, many people gathered along the roadside and it was decided to refrain from resting in order to avoid a dense situation.
At the time of rest at the Nasu Imperial Villa last August, about 450 people gathered at JR Nasu-Shiobara Station where the Emperor's family arrived.
