Shirakabe: A Traditional and Modern Fusion in a Satoyama Farmhouse

Shirakabe has established basic infection prevention policies based on the government's "New Lifestyle" guidelines. With the motto "Do not spread or catch infections," we will ensure thorough awareness among our staff and guests. 1. Please check your temperature on the day of travel. Inform us of your health condition on the day of travel. If you feel unwell, even slightly, please cancel your trip. 2. Always wear a mask and wash your hands during your trip. 3. Sanitize your hands when entering or exiting tourist facilities. 4. Dispose of used masks responsibly by yourself. 1. Hand sanitizers are placed at entrances and exits. 2. Guests will be encouraged to sanitize their hands upon entry and exit. 3. Sanitizers are available in dining areas and dressing rooms in public baths. 4. Dining tables are sanitized before and after meals with disinfectant spray. 5. Dining tables will be spaced at least 1 meter apart, avoiding face-to-face seating where possible by arranging seats side-by-side instead. 6. After regular cleaning of guest rooms, frequently touched areas will be disinfected as a final step. 7. Public restrooms may have limited access; guests are encouraged to use their Room's restroom whenever possible. 8. Staff members interacting with guests must wear masks; cleaning staff must wear both masks and disposable gloves, changing gloves as much as possible between cleaning tasks for different areas. 9. Bedding used by guests may carry viruses; therefore, staff handling bedding or replacing covers for futons/pillows will wear masks and gloves during these tasks. 10. Meals will primarily be served individually rather than shared dishes for groups. Shirakabe is committed to implementing these policies thoroughly among employees and partner companies to maximize infection prevention efforts with everyone's cooperation greatly appreciated!
