How are you all doing obon?

More than 20 years ago, when the Obon holiday came, the company also set the Obon holiday,
In those days, it was normal for people to return to their parents' homes and deepen their friendships with relatives.

However, these days, such as taking long vacations in a distributed manner,
Especially in the last few years, due to the influence of corona, it has become a custom to avoid contact between generations as much as possible.
For that reason, I think that the awareness that it is Obon is fading.

Yesterday afternoon, while working at the toll gate, I noticed that
The number of groups of three generations coming to the event was incomparably smaller than before.
Instead, most of the customers who entered the park were of the second generation and were visiting the park for the first time.

Also, the afternoon is more crowded than the morning, so it's completely different from 10 years ago.
Vacations tend to be decentralized, instead of concentrating on one point like before.
There is also the advantage that the situation is not unusually crowded for customers.

This year, on the ranch, sanshaku verbenas, sennichikou, etc. have progressed more than usual.
We hope that you will come and visit us.
All the staff are waiting for you.
