Unfortunately, due to unfortunate rain, "Fukutoku City" and "Palanquin Experience" were canceled.

However, raffle of "Fukutokukuji" and "Nihonbashi long-established husband talk show" were moved to the underground sidewalk of Edo Sakura-dori St. (a space between Choledo Muromachi 1 and Choledo Muromachi 3 shortly after leaving Mitsukoshimae Station).

At 12:00, after exchanging "Fukutoku lottery voucher" for "Fukutoku lottery", we listened to "Nihonbashi long-established husband talk show".

The participation prize received at the time of exchanging the Fukutoku lottery is this (pictured above).

The talk show was performed by Toru Hashimoto, the fifth generation of Toyoda Nihonbashi, and Masatoshi Ishikawa, the third generation of Yutodo, and the moderator was Miki Sakai, editor-in-chief of the monthly "Nihonbashi".

Mr. Hashimoto of Nihonbashi Toyoda talked about Saigo Takamori as a customer, and Mr. Ishikawa of Yutodo talked about episodes with Japanese painting master Taikan Yokoyama, and so on.

It was 10 mag, too.

Since the Nihonbashi Kitazume Store Association is hosting the prize, the prize is super luxurious.

Thank you for "Fukutokukuji".

The day before the typhoon landed, the weather was rough, but the Edo Sakura-dori St. underground walkway was excited at the "Nihonbashi Long-established Husband Talk Show", and the more popular lottery in "Fukutoku Kuji", the more cheers and applause I was excited.
