A vending machine was set up in Kora Town, Shiga Prefecture, the birthplace of Todo Takatora, a military commander during the Warring States period, to prepare for the new coronavirus, and a commemorative event was held.
Kora Town cooperated with a major beverage maker to utilize the achievements of Todo Takatora, who was active from the Warring States period to the Edo period, to the town hall and roadside stations, etc. We installed it in 4 places in the town.
On the 11th, a commemorative event was held at a facility with a restaurant, etc., with the participation of residents wearing Takatora and Mayor Kikuo Nose.
In addition to tea and canned coffee, masks for infection control of the new coronavirus and wet tissues for sterilization are sold at vending machines, and when you put in money, Takatora says, "Battle with corona, mask, hand wash, gargle. Are you ready? "
And when you buy a product, you will be called out, "It's time to play!", "It's a good idea. Be prepared on a regular basis!"
Kora Nishimura, Chief of the Industry Division of Kora Town, said, "I hope many people will continue to be interested in corona countermeasures through vending machines."
