In a special announcement, the governor of Hiroshima Prefecture strongly urged people to refrain from any unessential outings everyday of the week (not only weekends) and other social distancing measures in the face of an increase in coronavirus cases over the weekend. The governor of Yamaguchi Prefecture, meanwhile, asked his citizens to refrain from traveling outside of the prefecture.
It was announced yesterday that the annual Tōkasan yukata festival, scheduled for June 5-7 will be canceled. Our favorite festival, we have to admit that this one hurts 🙁
