In fact, Space Market has seen a 2.5-fold increase in rental space bookings for dating purposes among teenagers compared to the previous year. A contributing factor is that many teenagers live with their parents, making it difficult to secure private time at home. This has led to a noticeable trend during the rainy season of switching to rental spaces at the last minute due to rain forecasts. Voices such as "There's nowhere to go on rainy days" and "I live with my parents and can't have a date at home, so I'm looking for a private space away from prying eyes" have been received, indicating a growing demand for indoor spaces where couples can be alone, particularly among teenagers. ■ Guest Comments at the Time of Booking - We had planned a picnic, but due to the rainy forecast, we decided to rent a space and eat our bento boxes there.
