The initial deadline for "priority measures such as prevention of spread" applied to the three Tokai prefectures was 13th, but it has been decided to extend it until 6th next month.
The ski resorts in Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture, which are entering the season, have expressed concerns about a decrease in the number of passengers.
At "Hirugano Kogen Ski Resort" in Gujo City, we operate after taking measures against infection such as wearing masks and avoiding crowds.
However, due to the application of "priority measures such as prevention of spread", the number of visitors has decreased to about two-thirds before the application, and group guests such as school trips have been canceled one after another.
It was expected that the number of passengers would increase due to heavy snow this season, but with the priority measures being extended for another three weeks until the 6th of next month, the number of passengers this season is expected to decrease significantly from the usual year. ..
Fumio Yamashita, Deputy Manager of "Hirugano Kogen Ski Resort," said, "I was waiting for the release of the priority measures, but I can't help it. I feel sorry for the children who were looking forward to making memories. I'm worried about what will happen. "
