Izumo Kinenkan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture; President and CEO: Masami Ito), which operates wedding and ceremonial services and guest houses in Fukui Prefecture, will implement a 9-day company-wide summer closure from Tuesday, July 28, 2026, to Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at its major facilities as part of a new workstyle initiative starting in 2026.

While long consecutive holidays are uncommon in the bridal and hospitality industry—where weekends, holidays, and long breaks are peak business periods—the company has decided to introduce this policy based on the belief that "employees’ physical and mental well-being, along with quality family time, lead to the highest level of hospitality."

Background: Employee Happiness Creates Customer Happiness (and Better Service)

In the hospitality industry, including the bridal sector, a structural challenge exists: peak business periods align with customers’ holidays, making it difficult for employees to take extended vacations or spend meaningful time with their families.

At our company, we believe that to produce the happiest moments in people’s lives—life’s milestones—each employee providing service must first be physically and mentally healthy and able to value their personal lives and family time.

Starting this year, we are proactively securing time for employees to recharge and spend quality time with their families by introducing a "company-wide summer closure" during the summer months.

Impact on Customers and Future Outlook

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this temporary closure. Customers wishing to make inquiries or schedule venue visits during this period may experience delays. However, we are confident that our refreshed employees will return with renewed energy to deliver even better service and smiles upon reopening.

All inquiries received during the closure will be promptly addressed starting Thursday, August 6, 2026, when regular operations resume.

Moving forward, we will continue to promote diverse workstyles and enhance employee well-being to further deliver value to our customers.
