Hirosaki's cafe & hot spring inn "Iwakiyama Pension Wonderland" (Hirosaki City Tokiwano Kuromori, TEL 0172-83-2670) started selling "New Coronavirus Evacuation Plan" on February 29th.

This inn has a free-flowing hot spring and offers services such as mountain climbing and nature experience. It is 450 meters above sea level, and there is still 1 meter of snow. Toshiyuki Takada, the owner of the family, who runs the business with four family members, said, "I thought of a plan for a long-term stay to protect myself from the risk of infection in a place away from the central city and where there is little contact with people.

According to Mr. Takada, reservations for accommodations were canceled due to the light snow this year, and due to the coronavirus, there were almost no reservations until Golden Week. “The current mood reminds me of the Great East Japan Earthquake, as the times overlap,” says Takada.

"At the time of the earthquake, reservations were canceled immediately, the event was a self-restraining mood. The accommodation business was a big blow. When I thought about what I could do, I had a microbus at the time, so I gathered supplies and went to Kamaishi, which was damaged by the disaster. I went.”

This plan comes from the fact that it was announced on February 27 that temporary closures were requested from elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools. Based on my experience of accepting nature classes and training camps for children, I decided to accept only children who were closed, but I abandoned because of the inability to ensure safety. It is said that he was accepted by his family.

Mr. Takada said, “Our hotel has an Internet environment, so parents who have jobs can work remotely. Children can also play in the snow or take a hot spring. It does not guarantee reliable safety. , If you can set a low price and help people who are in little trouble," he said.

The basic plan is for adults = 7,000 yen and children = 6,000 yen with three meals a day. Accept from 3 nights 4 days.
