Shibuya, which will start moving after declaring the emergency, announces the reopening date of large commercial facilities

• シェア

Approximately one and a half months after the "Emergency Declaration" was issued on April 7. Finally, the declaration has been lifted, and each commercial facility and cultural facility is moving toward resumption. I'm sure many people have returned to the city of Shibuya with the reopening of stores and offices. What is your impression of Shibuya after a long time? Even during the self-restraint life, if you turn on the TV, you can feel that you are not going away, because the live stream of people around Shibuya Scramble Crossing is being broadcast live on news and wide show programs every day. In a sense, the Shibuya Scramble Crossing was one of the barometers for achieving "80% reduction in contact" across Japan. If the number of people in Shibuya declined, it would reassure many people, and if the number of people started to increase, they would feel relaxed.

According to NTT DoCoMo's "Mobile Space Statistics", after the "Emergency Declaration" was issued, the traffic flow near Shibuya Center Street decreased by 60 to 70% compared to before the infection spread, and it is a considerably high decrease among the 8 downtown areas in Japan. Was showing the rate. SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE SQUARE, Shibuya Hikarie, Shibuya Seibu, Shibuya Modi, Shibuya Parco, etc ... There are more than 10 large commercial facilities around Shibuya Station. The high rate of decline can be attributed to the success of these measures for large-scale commercial facility closures. On the other hand, according to the Japan Department Stores Association, April sales fell by 72.8% year-on-year, the largest decrease ever, not to mention the economic impact. It is not so easy to regain the bustle of the past, but I hope that the liveliness of Shibuya will gradually return with the gradual relaxation of self-restraint demands.

Let's take a look at the movement of the city of Shibuya on May 26 the day after the declaration is released with a photograph.

Although the number of people has increased considerably, many large commercial facilities are still closed and many companies are still doing remote work.

The area around the statue of Hachiko, the loyal dog, where the tourists were able to take commemorative photos before corona, is now quiet.

Shibuya, which is a commercial city, can be said to be a city for "outdoor advertising," but after the declaration of an emergency, "blank" stands out on the billboards of each building, including SHIBUYA109. In addition to the self-restraint on the part of the advertiser, there may be judgments that the traffic flow is decreasing and the advertising effect is not worth it.

While ordinary outdoor advertisements are on the decline, message advertisements unique to Corona are increasing, such as "Thanks to healthcare professionals #LightItBlue" (Glicovision of Sanzenri Pharmacy).
People are scattered around Shibuya Center Street. The big change from before Corona is that each restaurant has started to take out.
In the With Corona era, takeout and delivery of restaurants became indispensable as a "new way of life" that avoids crowds.

Now, starting from this weekend, as step 2, the operation of large commercial facilities will resume gradually. The main resumption schedule is as follows.
