Transformation around Harumi Wharf

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] January 7, 2019 14:00

I went to see what kind of situation Harumi, who was decided to be the Olympic athlete village to be held in Tokyo in 2020, is in progress.

The area around Harumi Pier was undergoing an amazing transformation.

The impressive building of "Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal" (pictured above, left building) was the same, but there were many buildings for the athlete village in the past, where it was a parking lot or around it. Was under construction

After the Olympics, an even higher-rise tower apartment will be built, and many houses will be lined up.

There was a sign saying "Athlete Village Construction Site"

From Harumi Wharf, you can see the building of Toyosu Market (Koto-ku), which opened after the relocation of Tsukiji Market in October last year.

Over there, on the 5th of this month, there was the first New Year's annual “first auction”, and bluefin tuna (278 kg) from Oma, Aomori Prefecture was auctioned off for 333.6 million yen per bottle.

The scenery of Harumi is changing rapidly.
