Commuting during the COVID-19 pandemic and current changes

This is a story from the past, but during my commute during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were fewer than 10 people on each Shinkansen car.

The stations were quiet, too.
Compared to those times, it feels like the commuting scene has completely returned to normal.

The stations are bustling, and the Shinkansen cars are as crowded as before, making me realize once again how important everyday life is.
