On one day before the day when stronger measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus started in Sendai and all restaurants and bars in Sendai city could not sell alcoholic beverage, not so many people passed through the street. Compared to the number of people passed through, many people went in and out a pachinko salon in front of the recording point, and therefore, the noise from the pachinko salon heard frequently and clearly, when the automatic doors of the salon opened. Two staffs of Izakaya bars which ignored the requests for shortened hours of operation hold up respective bars' signboards, but they did not tout with loud voices.
