I participated in this year's "Marugoto Museum" and conveyed the wonderfulness of flamenco to the general public. It is said that 70-year-old and 80-year-olds also attend lessons at the great studio. How about you? I'll try it too. Click here for the website of the studio. http://www.tomokoishii.com/

 And Bon festival dance by people from Chuo-ku. Everyone was dancing happily to songs such as "This is the Bon Dance in Edo".

I realized that deep international exchange is taking place.

At the disaster prevention corner on the 4th floor, there were emergency food tasting corners in the event of a disaster and maps about evacuation site, which were also appreciated by foreigners living in Chuo-ku.

 I would like to express my deep appreciation and respect to the Chuo-ku Cultural and International Exchange Promotion Association, which is held every year. Thank you very much.
