For the past two weeks, the number of consultations from former employees of restaurants that have lost their jobs has increased for public interest incorporated associations that have taken part in life consultations in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo, one of Japan's leading entertainment districts.
On the other hand, some stores are open late at night, which means that they are becoming more polarized.
Nippon Kakekomidera is located in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, one of Japan's leading entertainment districts, and has been counseling people living in this town for multiple debts and hardships for 19 years.
Two weeks after the second state of emergency was declared, the corporation received more consultations from former employees of restaurants and sex shops saying that they were out of work and had difficulty living and that they were in debt.
According to Mr. Hidemori Gen (64), who has been the representative since the inauguration, it seems that about 30% of the stores in Kabukicho are closed or closed, and Mr. Gen said, "Is it about 10 from the first state of emergency? As the months go by, it is having an impact like a body blow, and more and more stores are closing due to lack of management. "
On the other hand, there are some stores such as host clubs that are open after 8 pm and sales are increasing, which means that polarization has begun.
Regarding this situation, Mr. Gen said, "Every industry is tough, so I have no choice but to endure the state of emergency, but I would like to encourage even a little because of the increasing fear and anxiety."
