Walking around the Tokyo Minato Festival and Harumi

[To Kachidoki! Kamitaman May 26, 2015 09:00

The 67th Tokyo Minato matsuri was held on Saturday and Sunday, May 23 and 24. The venue is the planned site of the Olympic Athlete Village. I went to Tokyo Minato matsuri to walk around the planned site of the athlete village.

I took a panoramic view of the athlete village from the east side. The passenger ship terminal on the left and the anchored on the left are ships that are open to the public today. Also, looking at the Toyosu New Market from the venue in Harumi, construction is steadily progressing. I'm looking forward to it.

At the venue, various performances on the stage and events in the bustling square were crowded with families with children. As an event unique to Harumi, there is a public exhibition of ships that are rare. This time, there were public exhibitions such as "Surveying Ship Marine", "Dredging Ship Marine Ryu", "Training Ship Kaitakamaru", "Escort Ship Yugiri". Since it was a rare opportunity, we visited "Drunsetsu Funakai Ryu", "Training Ship Utakamaru", and "Escort Ship Yugiri". "Yugiri" is a 3,500t escort ship, but it waited for 30 minutes, probably because there were few opportunities to visit warships. It was characterized by the fact that it was equipped with a patrol helicopter, and it seemed that it took a long time to visit the public due to the space of the helicopter's public location.

In the morning of the 24th, a water firefighting pageant was held.

I am looking forward to the development of Harumi for the Olympics.
