Rush to the scene of the Kumamoto earthquake!

Our company’s main business is the management of coin-parking lots and
we have ones which we operate in Kumamoto Prefecture as well.
When the Kumamoto earthquake occurred, staff members of Fukuoka Branch of our company rushed to the coin-parking lots in Kumamoto City.
On arrival, they started to put the locked plates down by hands due to power outage.
Under the tense situation, they sent a photo of Kumamoto Castle partly collapsed to us.

Kumamoto Castle is one of the largest castles in Japan.
However, the many tiles fell down, a turret and the stone wall collapsed.
I’ve heard that it takes 20 years and costs a mind-bogglingly huge amount of money
to recover.
Our Fukuoka Branch is near the affected area,
and a staff member quickly brought toilet paper as relief supply to a designated place.
I believe that they will continue steady activities to support the disaster area. (H.S)
