Do you know what this is for? You might see one at the entrance of department stores. It’s designed to prevent rainwater from wet umbrellas dripping on the floor. On rainy days, people use this device to dry their umbrellas. It’s very easy to use: simply insert your umbrella and shake it gently. That’s it! Additionally, some stores also have umbrella-covering machines for your convenience.
Put your umbrella into the slot from top to bottom, and it will be automatically covered. Check out the photos for a step-by-step guide. This is a kind of “Omotenashi,” or Japanese hospitality, for visitors. What do you think?
