After the collapse of the resort bubble, I went on a research trip to hot spring areas in Tohoku and Hokuriku.
I was invited by the government as part of a planning survey to revitalize the town.
As a medical welfare officer for a group of consultants, companies and academics.
It is an area that is said to be a semi-mountainous area and a depopulated area.
Everywhere is a hot spring tourist spot.
There is a long-established hot spring inn with a long history.
The president is the second generation, a collection of husbands, and a local celebrity.
He is the president of the tourism association and the hot spring association.
His wife runs the inn and is a powerful person.
Frankly speaking, everyone is intimidating.
Boasting old hot springs.
However, bathrooms are not always clean.
The toilet in the bathroom was old and dirty.
Meals are ryokan cuisine, the same as group trips.
You can’t choose what you like.
The guests have to match the arrangement of the ryokan.
It consists of group customers on weekends.
Even if the travel agency is silent, they will send it to you.
Both the food and the service have remained unchanged for decades.
Its history sells.
Even if you propose a nursing home or elderly housing like that, the staff say that it will not work.
I finally understand why that most of them don’t want to be customers, and other groups who can get tips.
But now, most of the long-established hot spring inns are not left in the world.
For various reasons, it became obsolete and disappeared from the world.
All the Nakai-sans (In modern times, nakai refers to the occupation of women who serve and entertain guests at ryokan (Japanese-style inns) and restaurants.) and the managers that were boasting.
I was confident and proud.
But now it’s gone.
Welfare may be the same.
Users are sent by the government, so there is no sales or competition.
Standard service, ignoring the changes of the times.
Arrogance, laziness, inertia, and habituation make no progress.
Time has stopped.
It was like an employee’s dragon palace.
Later I realized that I shouldn’t open the Tamatebako (a traditional Japanese small box for storing props. Also, it is an important box that should not be opened lightly).
It may not be happy to wake up and find yourself with gray hair.
I may be overdoing it.
That’s why I want to cherish Koyama’s employees who are positive about their work and don’t hesitate to make efforts as treasures.
Although the number is small.
Today`s new PCR positive staff: 0
Thank you for your hard work. I am very grateful to you.
