I look forward to seeing you in the 101st year! - Nihonbashi Bridge Washing~

[Vickie] August 1, 2012 08:30

On Sunday, July 22, which was unusually cool, the annual "Nihonbashi Washing" was held!

This is a plain but quite impressive event where local companies and children participate together and literally clean the bridge together. My workplace is also wearing a matching happi coat.♪

From Chibikko with deck brushes to adults, men and women of all ages is here and there, and fire brigade members discharge water from the pump car. It's quite easy to cooperate and the skill is good. As expected, Edo kid! It's so powerful.

This is the brave figure of the fire brigade members! Some of the little kids who were staring at the work around here all the time after washing the bridge. I don't have the opportunity to see such a scene up close.

Of course, this precious water uses reused water.

And after the bridge has become shiny, it's like this! At the same time, both Kitazume and Minamizume discharge water! This dynamic scene, everyone was crazy about taking pictures. At this time, the driver who was running on the highway noticed something ... (laughs)

In this way, Nihonbashi has become beautiful again this year. Even after 100 years, it is a symbol of this town where the affection of the local people is fully poured!
