It's September!!
It's summer vacation and Obon season.
Some people may be returning to their hometowns.
Recently, due to the influence of COVID-19, it seems that more and more people are returning to their hometowns and working remotely instead of actually going home.

Well, I've put together a list of store closures from last month, August.
