The tournament officials who visited from overseas at the Tokyo Olympics have a limited range of activities for a certain period of time as a countermeasure against the infection of the new coronavirus, but at one of the hotels in Tokyo, you can feel Japanese culture even a little. It is gaining popularity by offering free sweets.
At this Olympic Games, in order to take thorough infection control measures, it is stipulated that tournament officials visiting from overseas can only go to the places submitted in advance for 14 days after entering the country.
Under these circumstances, the hotel in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo has set up a corner in the lobby where sweets are provided free of charge so that more than 300 people involved in overseas competitions who are staying at the hotel can feel Japanese culture even a little.
Snacks and candies were lined up, along with an English message, and the people involved in the tournament looked at it with interest and chose it.
Akiko Yotsuya, the manager of the hotel, said, "Some people hesitated at first because of sweets that are unfamiliar overseas, but now they are popular. I want to offer hospitality so that you can feel Japanese culture as much as possible." I was talking.
