Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori will play golf in Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, this week, while Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa will spend about two weeks in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, beginning next week during their summer holidays.

Mori, who has not had a holiday since taking office in early April, will spend five days from Thursday at a hotel in Hakone, his aides said.
