On the 25th, the first day when the third state of emergency was declared in four prefectures including Tokyo, at Ueno Park in Tokyo, we saw families spending their holidays avoiding crowds.
At Ueno Park in Taito-ku, Tokyo, we received the third emergency declaration that began on the 25th, and although we can enter the park, all facilities in the park, such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and the National Museum of Nature and Science, have been closed.
In the park, we saw people sitting around the fountain and in the shade of trees from the morning, and families taking a walk, spending their holidays avoiding the crowds.
A 39-year-old man who was visiting the park with his children said, "I often come here because my house is near, but I think the traffic is the same as usual. I try to avoid contact with people as much as possible on holidays, and the park I only go out for a while. To be honest, I feel awkward at the third emergency declaration, but I know how to spend it during the declaration, so I want to spend my time taking proper measures. "
A 49-year-old man who was visiting with his family said, "I want to spend my time without the fourth state of emergency."
In Shibuya, Tokyo
On the other hand, in response to a state of emergency requesting the closure of a large commercial facility, "SHIBUYA109" will be closed for the time being from the 25th in Shibuya, Tokyo.
A woman visiting Shibuya with a friend said, "I feel that there are a little fewer people than usual. I was thinking of having lunch with two people, but I'm worried if the store is open." ..
