Last month, due to the impact of the earthquake that observed a seismic intensity of over 6 in Miyagi prefecture, reservations for more than 50,000 people were canceled at accommodation facilities in the prefecture, according to a summary of the accommodation facility association.
The Miyagi Prefecture Hotel Ryokan Living Hygiene Association conducted an urgent questionnaire to investigate the effects of the earthquake on the 16th of last month, and received responses from 103 accommodation facilities in the prefecture.
According to it, the cancellation of reservations by the end of last month was 50,416 people at 87 facilities.
By district, the largest number of cancellations was in the Akiho district of Sendai, with
21,941 people, followed by Sendai city center with 12,812 people, and Matsushima, Shiogama, and Tagajo with 3,854 people.
The Miyagi Prefecture Hotel Ryokan Living Hygiene Association said, "The closed facilities and events that were damaged, and the interruption of the Tohoku Shinkansen also led to the cancellation. The Shinkansen will resume operation this week, so it will be a long holiday from the end of this month. I want to rebuild toward the goal. "
