DSC_0060RSG'.jpg "EARTH HOUR" was launched in 2007 as part of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Australia's campaign to prevent global warming.

A project that is held on a global scale, connecting the lights-off batons on the same day and at the same time, with the desire to "leave a beautiful earth!" Is.

Held from 20:30 to 21:30 on March 25 (Sat) in 2017.

At 20:30 local time from the area near the date change line, the turn-off relay starts, and due to the time difference, the lights turn off around the earth in order from the east.

World-class landmarks such as the Empire State Building (United States), the Eiffel Tower (France), and the Opera House (Australia) are wrapped in darkness as they match Earth Hours.

At 20:30, Tokyo Tower, overlooking the Tsukiji Market from the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki, began 60 minutes to connect the blue earth to the future.
