Standing Nebuta (Ginza Sony Building)

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] March 23, 2016 18:00

Goshogawara and Tachinetaketa (Tachi Nebuta) were exhibited at Sony Square (outdoor event space) in the Ginza Sony Building facing the Sukiyabashi intersection.

The height was 23 meters (it seems to be full-scale), and even if it was placed in Ginza, which is lined with tall buildings, the impact was strong.

The purpose of this is to promote Aomori Prefecture with the opening of Okutsugaru-Imabetsu Station, the northernmost station in Honshu on the Hokkaido Shinkansen (scheduled for March 26).

By the way, Imabetsu-cho, where the station is located, has a population of about 2,800, and the locals sing "the smallest Shinkansen town in Japan"

On the 21st (Monday/holiday), when I went to Sony Square, a lively music was also played.

Also, on the wall of the Sony Building, there was a huge signboard of "Blue Sky Bolt", which was evaluated as a special A rice in Aomori Prefecture.
